So, this will be my final deviation from the usual Vietnam memorials posts for this year (2024) even though it will post in 2025.
Leaving Delaware and heading out west I came upon these from one of my favorite places in the country: New Mexico.
These Chili Ristras are ubiquitous in New Mexico and often quite long. Maybe not as long as these which must measure more than 6 feet.
One sees all kinds of elaborately colored vehicles here.
This structure, just off my friends property, is a mystery.
This photo is actually a Trompe l'oeil or Trick of the Eye. While it appears to be a photo of a girl through several doors or portals, it is actually a painting on a wall through the open door.
New Mexico is renowned by artist for its majestic light.
No explanation necessary for this one.
Next time, on the 9th of January, I will return to the posts of Vietnam memorials. So, check back to see if I find something from California. As always, at 9:00 am.
To see Vietnam memorials from any state and Canada, Ireland, and Puerto Rico click on the individual names on the left side of this page.
If you are following along at all, you will have seen that a number of you, like Joan from Wisconsin, Tony from Texas, Mike from Maryland, Ron from Florida, Tim from Virginia and Molly from Florida, Colleen from Pennsylvania, and very soon Elli from Maryland, among others, have responded to my request to send me memorials you have seen in your area or where you may have traveled. I even got one from Ireland! These submissions help expand the knowledge of how we have remembered the men and women who served or were lost in 'Nam and you help to honor them. If you have any such photos, I would love to see them. Please send them along to the email at the left and I will gladly share them here. Thanks, once again, to all who have contributed,
