  • A memory is what is left when something happens and does not completely unhappen.

    Taken in Madrid, New Mexico early last year. I’m on my way there for a couple of days…

  • interesting contrast of natural and otherwise…and the textures…how discordant!  and that darned blue rock…

    are you going to NM for new memories?  or to unhappen some old ones? ;)

  • although the picture makes you stare, it was the quote that made me quiet. so much to say and feel in such a phrase.. memory can do so many things to people, past feelings resurfacing. wounds, joys, resentments, dreams…

    i lover memory. they allow me to see and feel how far i have come

  • VERY nice.

  • heh… though it looks like the building might be on its way to “unhappening”… or was it built around it…?

    it’s the open sign that gets me…

  • I love terra cotta and adobe.  So EARTHY.  And when you stand bright colors next to it, it becomes almost electric.

    Love the quote.  Unhappen.  Hmmmm.  Have to think on that one!

  • How exactly perfect this post is!

  • Is that a tree growing out of the side of a building? Wow. Spain? How nice this time of year. Do you do this photo thing professionally?

  • It’s weird how Madrid has managed to maintain it’s ghost town image while still pulling in some amazing people to live there.  I don’t think I’ve seen the tree through the wall before, but then it’s been at least ten years since I passed through there.

    Beautiful.  Enjoy the visit. 

  • I’ve never been to Madrid, NM. I’ll have to put it on my list of places to check out. That picture is awesome. I love the word unhappen..

  • I love New Mexico!  So beautiful.  I hadn’t read that that was where the picture was until after I already identified it.  (I lived in Albuquerque for several years, but traveled throughout New Mexico quite often.)  Enjoy your trip!

  • Have a good time!

    Love the textures…

  • I.ve got to go to the badlands someday. My alt. site is not for generating new stuff but for sorting out what I have. I hope I can get people to read me with this name and comment at my regular site – asking to much of people I’m sure. How do you delete the comment box - grr. 

  • wow, that looks like somewhere i’d wanna go…

  • I hope you have a wonderful time!

  • Lovely! Makes me want to go paint some walls bright pink coz it looks sooo nice!! Have fun in Madrid!

  • I love Madrid, NM.  I love NM-

    Love and Light
