Beautiful old pottery in the Albuquerque Museum of Art:
Crushed tin cans decorated by children and fixed to the walls of an old downtown cinema, now being used as a religious meeting place:
Navajo Code Talkers sitting at a table in Old Town, publicising a book about their exploits in WWII:
The cool, shaded interior of the Iglesia de San Felipe de Neri on the Plaza in Old Town:
And to cap it all off, on our last evening, there was a terrific thunderstorm, followed by a double rainbow. I shot this photo out of our hotel room, looking towards the Sandia mountains at 8 pm:
