Exploring New Mexico

Nambe, New Mexico ⇑

This makes me happy. Sometimes on the weekends, I would hop in my car and just drive in and around Santa Fe, New Mexico, exploring the local towns and landmarks so rich in history, local culture and charm. I discovered this scene near Nambe during one such drive. What would it be like to leave behind my urban trappings and pursue a simpler life? Not entirely removed from the urban grind, of course, just making less use of it? Imagine waking up in the morning and seeing the sun adorn that mountains with the first light of day?
