Note

In New Mexico many Catholic chapels were built in the form of Adobe architecture (top).  "Adobe" is the building style used by Pueblo Indians and was named by Spaniards. Taos Pueblo (left) is a typical Adobe village, which was built 1000 years ago. Today a small number of Indians who refuse modern convenience still live in this village. At first I took this picture because I was fascinated by the harmonious tone generated by the blues. Just before I left,  I saw a dog lying in front of the door. This can enhance the "stillness" of the village and thus I include the lying dog in the picture.

Note

In New Mexico and some parts of the Southwestern region, it is very common for people to hang bunches of chili outside or inside the house for decorative or cooking purposes. But some of them are sprayed with anti-pigment-fading chemicals when it is for display only. Don't pick a piece to eat unless you are certain of what you will be eating.
