In August 2003 we went on a vacation road trip touring most of New Mexico
and part of Arizona.
I took over 1,000 photos with my new Canon EOS 10D digital SLR. I have
arranged the photos on a per-day basis, as they come out of the camera
that way.

The best day of the trip, the fascinating volcano and ice cave on
private property, followed by El Morro - a wonderful climb to the
top of an ancient mesa with Pueblo ruins from 1270 AD, then the awe
inspiring Painted Desert and Petrified Forest. |
