The Magic of Santa Fe, NM

Fine Art Museum


San Franciskus statue in front of the Cathedral in Santa Fe


A modern version of San Franciskus - I call him "the happy Franciskus"


No flash allowed in the Cathedral!


The first Native American to be promoted a Saint,
her name was: Kateri Tekakwitha, 1656 - 1680


A close up detail shot of the sculpture


The entrance to the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum


The Mission San Miguel


"The Lensic" - a Performing Art Center


The oldest house in the U.S. is in Santa Fe


The Dalai Lama Center


One of all the many galleries in Santa Fe


An other colorful gallery


You can buy everything tasteful in Santa Fe, it has not to be just art :)


The place where all the Natives are selling their beautiful jewelry


At the Plaza are also other vendors selling their art work...


Like this photographer we met and had an interesting small talk with him about...yes, about what?.... photography, of course :)


Dave got hungry - but the restaurant was NOT good and I don't recommend it for many reasons! Ask me why first before you're planning to go there, I'll tell you the story! :)


Again, the architecture is just beautiful!


We rather would have gone for a Pizza in this colorful pretty Pizzeria!


Inviting decors for shopping also in the streets


Window shopping - I LOVE turquoise!


Colorful red hot Chili peppers, also pretty for decorations in the house


Hi my friends,

I hope you'll enjoy my small collection of photos for this post :) Santa Fe is beautiful, it's magic, yes! I would go there anytime again and I would even stay the whole summer. I have enjoyed every single hour there!

Today we arrived in Colorado already. The landscapes were again beautiful and amazing! The weather is great and warm, also here. I'll show you pictures for sure :)

Thanks for all the wonderful comments from yesterday!

Santa Fe's Architectural Style


We were exploring today the whole Down Town of Santa Fe and came home with many nice impressions, not so great experience in a restaurant, visiting the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, stepped into all the Churches :) - and with for sure 200 photos more in my archives...LOL... :)

This town is so beautiful and so photogenic - it's a feast for every photographer to go around with the camera! I'm showing you now only this picture of the special architectural style of the houses here, that's what Santa Fe is well known for it. As soon as possible, I'll show you more.

Thanks also again for all your kind comments to my last post yesterday, my friends! We will be on the road again tomorrow, heading North a little bit. I'll let you know where we will be, stay tuned with me - see ya later!
