Defined by the Sky

Road Trip ~ Joshua Tree to Santa Fe #6

 
Santa Fe is known for its art (being the second largest art market in the U.S. after NY City), its film industry, its downtown square and marketplace, its architecture and history.  But for me, Santa Fe is defined by its sky.  An expansive, deeply blue sky often populated by the purest white clouds.  I was literally captivated by the light, and that feeling never abated the entire time we were there.

I can see why artists flock to the area to paint, sculpt, photograph.  I can see why the arts community has created the incredible, nonstop collection of galleries on Canyon Road and throughout the entire downtown.  I can see why serious collectors, wanna-be's, and admirers of the arts flock to Santa Fe.  I, too, am irresistibly drawn to the light and the art it inspires.
