Buffalo Waterfront

I spent the evening down in the Canalside district (I went downtown to hear some music, but got distracted by the photo ops).  I had a new lens with me, so took the opportunity to check it out under dusk/night conditions.  Here are a few that turned out pretty good.

 

Santa Fe

Here are a few shots taken last week on a visit to Santa Fe, which is a pretty cool little city-- lots of great architecture and more art galleries than I could count with a nice variety of styles represented.  above is a picture of the train station with the commuter Rail Runner on the right.  Below are some shots of the Cathedral of St. Francis Assisi, just up the street from the central square.  

 

Below are some street vendors set up outside the old Palace of the Governors across from the central square. 

The next few were taken on Canyon Road, which is lined with art galleries of all stripes, most in old adobe or other restored 19th century buildings. 

These next few are some random shots from around the Square, including a nice selection of chile peppers.

To finish up, a sequel to the paper boxes I posted a few days ago-- mailboxes on Canyon Road.
