Continuing on with my year-in-review project, the spectacular New Mexico skies just keep on comin'. These are my best sunset photos, as seen from my back yard in Meadow Lake, New Mexico, from June of 2019! 

     In November I made a short trip to visit family in Lima, Ohio. I was born in Lima but haven't been back since my mom and I moved to Albuquerque, NM in 1977. The first thing to know about visiting Lima is that, of the three major airports in Ohio, the closest one to Lima is Columbus and it's still an hour and a half away. If I had realized everything I would see on my first solo mid-west adventure I would've given myself a lot more time.
     The road from Columbus to Lima is crowded with every kind of thing I love to photograph. Old barns, abandoned houses, cemeteries and every manner of creepy thing are literally everywhere. While this is likely not a sign of economic prosperity in the area, it is a photographer's dream trip.
     I hadn't given myself any time for sight seeing but still couldn't resist pulling off the road to photograph these two barns knowing that this might be my one and only opportunity.
