South Monticello

We've moved down to Elephant Butte State Park, some seventy miles south of the Bosque.

What a change of scenery!

The skies here are humongous.
Off in the distance mesas rise,
cliffs hugging the water at their base.

Remember to click on the images.
These all look better at a larger size,

especially the panoramas

This pyramid shape
sits across the water from our campsite

The red cliffs reflect the light

In the other direction
the vistas are just as stunning

The light bends into colors

The moon was clothed in clouds.
Even though I couldn't get a clear shot
something here appealed to me.

I'm just beginning to play
with night shots

While not sharp,
I like what this moon adds to the mood.
(Look off to the bottom left
and you'll see our campsite).

One more shot
and I'm off to bed

As always
but particularly tonight
