Rolling down the Turquoise Trail Hwy 14 NM to Santa Fe

My first visit to New Mexico, a few years before I took the leap and moved here, was heavily influenced by a short drive down Turquoise Trail, from Albuquerque to Santa Fe.

I'm not sure if I've done the area justice, the blues of the sky are incredible, some say it is due to the altitude of Santa Fe (close to 7000). Shadows influenced by the angle of light in this area are credited to an amazing number of landscape paintings.

For some, myself included, there is nothing like the magical energy of a spring day on the road in New Mexico. Come breathe it in.

I believe these are the Ortiz mountains...
