Lord; am afraid LTA has turned into a 'holiday snaps in America' blog.
The thing is, after years of living away from the bright Sun any photograph I take has some sort of saturated 'postcardy/come look at our vacation pics' vibe.
For this I apologise.
Anyhew - the above pic is of the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge; nearby which, many years ago Dear Listener, I used to live in a small cinder-block house.
The pic below is of a series of crosses at El Santuario de Chimayo. They are recently put up and seem to be wired with power - I assume they light up for festive occasions?
Well, if things ever go bad and I have to flee Belfast - perhaps I can make my living as a postcard photographer. Here's a pretty picture of the Sun setting. The amount of colour here is making me queasy - Belfast's greyer pallete will be a bit refreshing.

Jett,
I am very disappointed that you (as far as I know) didn't contact any of your listeners while you were here in Fla. I would have met you for a drink or a meal. Maybe next time. My wife and I will be making it to Europe one of these days and when we are in Belfast I'll be sure and let YOU know we are coming and I'll buy you that meal.

Hey, Jett...
I'm really liking these photos! Great job on capturing the scenery! So you're in New Mexico, eh? Tacoma Washington has a fairly Grey weather tune going on, and it seems that's what you might be used to, but I don't know what places you're planning to visit before going back to Belfast, but if you make it up to Washington, let us know!

Is belfast really worth coming back to?

Remember, Mr X, Jett lives there so we don't have to.

That's what it says on the mugs!
Hey Jett, you'll be shortlisted for the Irish Blog Awards - Photojournal category again at this rate! Better get your tux cleaned up for March.

Feel bad for even checking my email - am here in some dodgy new agey sustainable culture inspirations soy milk latte ry cooder buddha on the wall kind of place...still not far enough away...even the tiniest little shack in new mex now has wi-fi...

I think "Wayne Ordianary American" will sweep this year's awards. Just a gut feeling.

Jett! If you're going to be around for another week or so, come to Breckenridge! You can find me on the bunny slope. Look for the old lady inching her way down the hill on her ass.
