(1,353 posts)I don't know how often you get snow in Santa Fe. But I love your photo the light and dark it is just beautiful.
We expect snow sometime in the coming week in my area but that is normal but my pictures never look that good.

(53,410 posts)I used flash then I adjusted the contrast and light/dark manipulation and converted it into silvertone all on my iPad. I used to have a Minolta decades ago so I have a bit of practice on manipulation things like exposure, etc.

(19,800 posts)Had a getaway planned to Santa Fe back in September including a walking architectural tour and a vegan meal at Pasquales. Unfortunately I broke my foot and couldnt join my friends there. They had a wonderful time and I hope to go next year 🙂

(53,410 posts)There is nothing like the architecture in Santa Fe and Taos in the old parts of the towns. Theyre great tourist destinations! I moved here from the Bay Area because I retired from UC Berkeley and I love it! The skies here are incredible too. I photograph and paint them too.

Hopefully they can hibernate, now.

Is it snowing there?
