Misty Mountains 1_27_21

Posted on January 27, 2021 by Jabo

In Winter, we usually get a temperture inversion over the Rio Grande Valley. Cold upper level air traps warm air trying to rise up. So the smoke from all the fires folks are using to keep warm, will settle low over the horizon.

Sunset 1_21_21

Posted on January 21, 2021 by Jabo

This afternoon’s cloud patterns were looking like it would be a spectacular sunset, so I loaded up the gear and drove out to the nearby Galisteo Basin Preserve and found a nice hill to set up on. Sadly, the clouds began to disappear as the sun went down. Still got some nice shots though. Then I got a nice one from the driveway and one of the lights of Los Alamos from the portal. Sometimes you can’t beat stayin’ put.

Inauguration 1_20_21

Posted on January 20, 2021 by Jabo

I enjoyed Biden’s speech and I thought it struck the perfect tone for his new presidency. But for me… Amanda Gorman’s poem was the highlight. It was an amazing, uplifting and inspiring end to the ceremony.

It ushers in the return of verse, music, and the light of all the other creative arts that have been sadly missing from our Capital of late. And that makes me the happiest and most full of hope on this Inauguration Day.

Covid-19 1_19_21

Posted on January 19, 2021 by Jabo

I got a little choked up to see this evening’s ceremonial recognition of what this pandemic (that has now claimed 400,000 lives) has cost us.

The awful right-wing lie that Covid is a hoax and that exhausted doctors, nurses and health care workers working in over-flowing hospitals are faking it… no longer has a voice from the White House.

It’s a very sad, yet euphoric prelude to the Inauguration tomorrow.
