Photography from New Mexico, Home of the Land of Enchantment

What New Mexico has to offer its devoted Viewers.

Northern New Mexico marks the southernmost boundary of the scenic and rugged Rocky Mountains. The Kit Carson National Forest and the Santa Fe National Forest comprise the Rockies’ southernmost range.

A canyon is cut by the Rio Grande River from Taos, New Mexico to the Espanola Valley. It flows southward to Elephant Butte reservoir and ultimately empties into Mexico and the Gulf of Mexico.

Lake Heron and El Vado are a couple of reservoirs in our state that flow into the Abiquiu Reservoir through the Chama River.

The Abiquiu Dam empties into the ongoing Chama River, which then flows into the Rio Grande River just north of Espanola.

A great diversity of wildlife, including elk, deer, antelope, cougar, bears, wolves, and coyotes, can be found in the northern part of the state. Their skittish nature makes them hard to locate.

Espanola is flanked by the Santa Clara Pueblo to the South and the Ohkay Ohwenge Pueblo to the North. Four more pueblos are located just a short distance from the City of Espanola.

You can find many Catholic Churches and church artifacts with deep roots in Northern New Mexico.
