2002 October 25-28 - Santa Fe Vacation
Our latest trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico and environs. New Mexico is truly the "Land of Enchantment", which is why we keep returning.
We went this time with the intention of focusing our photos on the smaller cultural and architectural detail, but we were so overwhelemed by the
fabulous deep blue skies and dramatic clouds, that we couldn't resist taking many landscape photos as well. We also have 2 new techniques
that we are trying for the first time and are very excited about: an INTERACTIVE Panorama of the landscape at
Ghost Ranch, and three "3D Animated Object Photos" of the Native American art works we acquired on this trip.
Consists of 156 photos (including panoramas) with slide shows, plus one INTERACTIVE Panorama and three "3D Animated Object Photos".
