| City of Rocks State Park, New Mexico. |
On my way back to Alamogordo from a weekend in Silver City, I had a picnic lunch at the unusual and picturesque City of Rocks State Park.

My picnic view on a gorgeous day.
While I ate my lunch, some sparrows and one noisily impatient raven hovered close in the hopes of feasting off lunch detritus. As if.

After lunch, I took a walk.

.. and then drove up top of a hill, where I could see the City of Rocks from a distance. It's odd to see the community of stones, which loom so large when you're among them, appear so inconsequential from afar.

City of Rocks - what a special place. SO glad NM decided to protect it as a state park!
ReplyDeleteMe too. New Mexico is, for me, indeed the land of enchantment.
DeleteI've lived in NM off and on across the span of fifty years- and I never knew this place even existed. Great photos of all your travels. They're appreciated.
