Unmistakably Santa Fe

 

I've featured posts about Santa Fe New Mexico before but, today I'm adding a few more photos that all display the  unmistakable look of that beautiful city.  Above is a scene from that area of Santa Fe known as Museum Hill.  It's a spot where four, world-class museums can be found together.

Here we have the Palace of the Governors in the historic district of Santa Fe.  This is a spot where on certain days, you can shop for Native American arts directly from the artists and craftsmen.  They gather in front of the plaza and display their wares. 

Above is a street scene where you can see the distinct architecture of the city.  Those adobe buildings are the predominant look in all directions.  I also like how those clouds are perfectly positioned above the street.

Those wonderful adobe walls make a perfect backdrop for spring flowers.  These lilacs look good and smell divine.  

It's a city where you will see a couple of friendly bears enjoying a conversation on a bench in front of an art gallery.  Down the street you might see chili ristras hanging from the tall adobe walls.  

In front of the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts you will find artistically enhanced poles supporting the cover over the sidewalk.

It's a city where hotels fit the architectural style beautifully and art galleries are on almost every corner.

I'll just sum it up by saying that Santa Fe is a city with a style all its own.  It's a beautiful place that I'm hoping I can visit again sometime soon.
