Several weeks ago one of my photo magazines declared Santa Fe the top photographic destination in the country. The editorial board enthused over the quality of the high desert light. Well it’s cloudy so scratch the fabulous light.
The road from Taos to Santa Fe parallels the Rio Grande river for several miles. We got to watch a river rafting group set out on the river.
One of the places on the “to visit” list is the Cathedral. When we parked our car that building was visible at the end of the street. We’ll visit a bit later.
Like Taos, and most other cities founded by the Spaniards the original city revolved around a central plaza. Today the Santa Fe plaza is an interesting mix of classy shops and galleries interspersed with open air native craft sales.
Santa Fe is best known as an art destination. Along with New York and San Francisco it’s in the top echelon. The heart of the art scene is Canyon Road; only galleries on both sides of the street. Hopefully we’ll start there tomorrow. This gallery is in a downtown plaza.
