claudiatammen > The Pink Rain of northern New Mexico
Sometimes after a thunderstorm rain can still be seen in the sky (it evaporates before it hits the ground). If this happens at sunset, the sun's rays may create a sky that glows pink.  I was fortunate to experience the effect this summer at Ghost Ranch, and with a double rainbow!
claudiatammen > Wetlands Reflection
This was taken the first evening I arrived at Ghost Ranch. I waited (mostly in vain) for the moon to rise, but got some nice reflection shots at the wetlands waste water reclamation project, which is also a great habitat for birds (none of which you see here).
claudiatammen > I love this funky little gas station - it serves about 20 Ranch vehicles on a regular basis, as well as guests who are desperate. It is amazing how people on a budget can get by on a little chewing gum and duct tape.....The Maintenance guys are a great crew. Notice the fire extinguisher hanging from the middle structure (safety feature), and the old U.S. post box on top of the left tank. They use it for receipts. This is why I love this place.

claudiatammen > Monday Evening Rainbow
After a hail storm earlier that day which flooded the main arroyo, this rainbow appeared after dinner.
claudiatammen > Chimney Rock Sunset
This image was made at a higher point on the Ranch, where we could watch the sun set. Chimney Rock makes a nice silhouette in the foreground (same evening as the pink rain).
claudiatammen > Circle of Companions
These adirondack chairs abound around the Ranch and many guests find them the ideal place to relax.
claudiatammen > Cotton Clouds
This image shows some of the red rock formations just south of the entrance to Ghost Ranch off Hwy. 84.
