hey Dustin, for posting pics directly on the page, I suggest flickr, it took me a couple days to figure it out, but flickr sizes down photos for the internet.  You have to kind feel around for the url.  But once you find it, it's pretty easy to cut and paste it into the picture function in posting.

Superstion mountain is my favorite mountain around, namely because I like to climb to the top.  I've become more interested in four peaks recently.  Especially after my trip to Payson last weekend.   Just how tall is Four Peaks, My brother says over 10k feet, but trust me, we have all learned along time ago to check his sources.

I'm in Northern NM now for my July 4th vacation, but on the way out I snapped this between Safford and Soloman:

Colin where are you going for the holiday in NM if you don't mind me asking?  I just recently got back from my trip out west.

[colin]

Well, the trip was based from the Sipapu Resort on NM 518 just outside of Picuris Pueblo. I spent a day in Las Vegas and a day in Taos. Also saw a lot of stuff that I have either never seen or haven't seen in a while, like El Malpais, the Zuni Pueblo, Chimayo and Chacon (which wasn't as interesting as I thought it would be).
And, of course, spent some time in Downtown ABQ.

I trust that you got  your usual colin pics?

I'm familiar with all of those except for Chacon.  Have you ever been to the Acoma Pueblo?

That would be cool to see.

I have a weird thing about pueblos. I went to the Acoma Pueblo once, but didn't actually go up to Sky City. That and Walpi in the Hopi Nation are the ones that I would like to visit, although I have actually been to both.
Chacon is a tiny town about ten miles north of Holman in Mora County. On the map, it looked very isolated, but it was actually fairly populous, situated in a narrow valley of mostly horse ranches. I had also hoped to find a hiking trail into the wilderness, but instead drove about 5 miles down a tiny dirt road surrounded by private land before turning around.
Mora County Photos
They include Mora, Ledoux, Sapello, Chacon, Cleveland and Golondrinas.

And, if you're interested:
Zuni Reservation area
Taos County
Rio Arriba County

Nice pics Colin.  Nice to see some familiar areas from a different perspective.  Did you try any of the food at Chimayo?  They have some great tamales at Chimayo.  I also stock up on chile pepper spices when I'm over there.  Is there any way to get to a main menu on your pics?  I've wanted to check out where else you've been but can't seem to get out of each area.

[colin]

No food at Chimayo. I ate lunch that day in Downtown ABQ at Lindy's Diner, and dinner was a frozen burrito at the resort (MMMM!).

Full photo gallery list

If you're ever back there I'd recommend trying some food at Chimayo.  They're known for their tamales there.  Even that little place (the name escapes me at the moment) next to El Sanctuario has some pretty good tamales.

   I can't take all the credit, my brother helps me out alot.


he's obsessed with the Chase tower. (It's almost like he hasn't seen a
taller building before)  This is the light reflecting off of the Republic building
onto another building, with the Chase Tower in the background.

I love nightshots!  Thanks for the pics Dustin.

[Mith242]

Nice shots.      I don't have anything urban but I'll have to post a few of my AZ pics I've taken while travelling northern AZ sometime.

The tallest peak on Four Peaks is Browns peak at 7,657. It is also the only area in Maricopa County that recieves anual snowfall.

Sorry I don't have any urban pics of AZ.  But I thought maybe I'd actually post a few I've taken in northern AZ.  This was taken the other week on Hwy 160 between Kayenta and Teec Nos Pos.  In the Navajo Reservation if you can't tell that from the names already.
