I really want to keep this as a visual diary, but I’ll freely admit that at the end of the day I’m tired and just want to zone out- no matter what. Even if I’ve spent the day doing something I love, like taking photos or exploring. Editing photos, writing a thing- a well (or decently or somewhat) edited - not rambling- thing require a focus that encourages procrastination. Well, no more.
Yesterday we drove from Denver to Albuquerque, NM. I have my travel buddy back for the week and our exact destination is unclear. The only concrete things are he’s leaving from Denver on Monday and I have to be in Sarasota, FL by the 18th. Warmer climates!
On our way south from Denver we passed through a super charming somewhat frozen in time town called Trinidad in Colorado. I could see all the possibilities for photos there- I would’ve loved to set up the backdrop and get to know some people, but we were there for an hour so my photos are mostly void of people. We stopped at a great bar called Moose’s and we nearly stayed for the trolley tour of the Christmas lights.
It’s hard to see the Trinidad sign on the mesa- is that a mesa?- but it’s a nice way to announce the town.
Travel buddy! Cool old ads!
Oh, hey cowboys.
I know this seems like a real blah picture and it kind of is, but that light in the west shining down that main street was pretty phenomenal, I didn’t really do it justice, but I want to remember it.
And one more! This is the photo that makes it seem like I got into a time machine and found Trinidad.
