Madrid New Mexico, not Spain!
Around the back side of Sandia Crest mountain, the 'Turquoise Trail'
route from Albuquerque to Santa Fe passes through Madrid, a tiny artsy
town with its roots in mining. The miners are gone, but structures
like this remain(ed). These modest living quarters have a lot of character,
especially as they slowly deteriorate in the New Mexico sun
But alas, this photo is at least ten years old, and when I visited
Madrid again just a couple years ago the miner's shacks had been rebuilt,
same size, same location, but all fresh wood and paint.
I guess it's progress. |
