Every time you go home after an extended absence, you hit up your favorite watering holes and restaurants.
Every time I go to Taos after an extended absence, I go to the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge.
Portra 400VC, 120mm.
Dedicated in 1965, it’s the fifth highest bridge in the United States, and the Rio Grande River flows in the gorge 650 feet below.

It’s also near Taos Ski Valley and Wheeler, which at 13,661 feet above sea level is the tallest mountain in the state.

We visited the bridge after leaving Philmont and before eating a very late lunch — but that’s for later.

I like the shots. Nice to have a near empty bridge too.
What camera(s) are you using again? They seem to be adding some serious flavor to the output.
Thanks Douglas!
For the medium-format, I used a Mamiya 645 with an 80mm lens. For the 35mm, I used an Olympus OM-1 with 35mm, 50mm and 135mm lenses. The medium-format is particularly wonderful.
