The Hill

You go east of Aztec on Blanco Street and it isn't long before you are on BLM land. Its scrubby country, interlaced with improvised motocross tracks, old matresses, and lots and lots of broken glass. But it is out there, and so often i ride my bike up there or walk the dogs up there and let them get a good run in before coming back to the world of walls, doors, fences. One day i was up there and my cell rang. Great reception up there. It was my brother Steve. He said "So what are you up to," and i said, "well, i'm just taking the dogs for a walk up the hill east of town." "What's that like?" he asks, then adds; "you'll have to post a shot of the view from up there.
Well, i took the shots a month ago or maybe more, but am just now getting around to posting. The panorama-job is not the best, but i'm chalking that up to the lighting conditions. But you get the idea. This is looking west over Aztec and the Animas River valley ( full name: Rio de las Animas Perdidas) SWEET! Mysterious!
