"The Great American West" is our favorite place in the U.S.....we have lived in, traveled extensively through, and thoroughly enjoyed our time in the west. We have lived in Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and California. Our favorite city in the west is Santa Fe, New Mexico, and we always spend a few weeks there every year. Santa Fe is known as "The City Different" and the Spanish and Native American influences there are very apparent. Santa Fe is the oldest capitol city in the US...founded by the Spanish over 400 years ago, The city celebrates its 404th anniversary this year (2014). Through our travels over the years, we have been able to spend time in every state west of the Mississippi. A large part of our continuing travels each year is spent enjoying the majestic scenic vistas, the beautiful National Parks, and the peaceful serenity of the wide open spaces, not to mention the excellent photo opportunities found in the western states. Our favorite state is New Mexico. The photos above are from a wide variety of places, and only represent a small part of our collection. We plan to change images here from time to time to showcase more of them. A large part of my interest in the Western US comes from my heritage. I am 1/4 Native American (Modoc Tribe - Southern Oregon). My father, and my grandfather, both grew up on Indian reservations in the Western U.S. In addition to our passion for photography in these regions, we are also avid collectors of Native American Pueblo pottery, Native American artwork, sculpture, and jewelry. We salute the Native American artisans who create such beautiful works of art, using only natural materials, that are provided by Mother Earth. We hope you enjoy viewing the photos above, as much as we enjoyed taking them. We dedicate this page of western landscape photos to the indigenous peoples of these beautiful western areas, those who are still living, as well as those that have come and gone before us.....
