Located in Gallup, the McKinley County Courthouse is a historic Spanish Pueblo Revival style building built in 1938. It is notable for its New Deal art, including murals by Lloyd Moylan in the 2nd floor courtroom, as well as other WPA commissioned elements. #VisitGallup #NewMexico #travel #history

Albuquerque Civic Plaza, January 30, 2026

This afternoon at 2 pm, downtown Albuquerque 🫡

The date for the next No Kings Day is set. But this is a save the date, not a “sit back and wait.” 🧵

@maddow.bsky.social pretty cold here in little Las Vegas, New Mexico, but #Minneapolis showed us how it's done.

Proud of the Duke City and the local organizers. Albuquerque showed up today. Courthouse protest turned into a march. #Minneapolis #Minnesota #AbolishICE

Sipping coffee. Up at 3 am....again. Light dusting of snow overnight. Protest at 11 in Albuquerque at 333 Lomas at the courthouse.

Albuquerque, tomorrow (Sunday) at 11 am. #NewMexico

Downtown Albuquerque Rally today

Who else will be attending?

I spent a lot of time roaming around downtown Gallup in 2024 and 2025. 😁 #travel #roadtrip #NewMexico #VisitGallup #Gallup #daytrip #weekendgetaway #Route66 #streetscenes

Heading to a rally later this morning. How is everyone doing? I am wondering when I will be able to sleep past 3 am again. My circadian rhythm is discordant at this point.

Idea for 2026 New Mexico travel messaging... There are lots of free/cheap things to see & do, in pretty/peaceful environments, often with no cell phone signal, power lines, or humans. International travel is toast + domestic travel declines dramatically if we are broke & society is a hot mess.

Dripping Springs Trail is an easy to moderate, 3-mile loop trail near Las Cruces, New Mexico. It leads to the ruins of a 19th-century resort and sanatorium. Another trail leads to Hermit's cave, a rock shelter occupied by the Italian hermit Giovanni Maria Agostini in the 1860s. #hiking #NewMexico

Central Avenue in Albuquerque, aka #Route66 #travel #roadtrip #NewMexico #Albuquerque

Took a quick trip to the Jemez, Los Alamos, and Española yesterday. Dog and I needed scenery and fewer people. New Mexico really, really needs some snow. It's weird to see the Valles Caldera with no snow in January. Tippy tops of Baldie and Truchas had snow, but the mountains are bare. 😐

In the Bisti Wilderness… New Mexico…

The Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array, aka the VLA, is a tool designed to study astronomical objects. The complex consists of 27 radio telescopes, placed in a Y-shaped configuration. They move the dishes into 4 standard arrangements on a 3-month rotation to vary level of detail and sensitivity.

Dripping Springs Natural Area is a popular hiking destination, with over 4-miles of easy to moderate hiking trails. Dripping Springs Trail is approximately 3-miles long (roundtrip). The trail's name is based on a natural spring at the back of the canyon, aka the “Weeping Wall.” #hiking #NewMexico

The bells of the Basilica of San Albino in Mesilla: The first, small copper bell was cast in 1876. Two larger bells were cast in 1886. The final, and largest, was cast in 1887. The church assigned “godparents” to care for them, an honor passed through generations of the same family.

Wandering around downtown Gallup, New Mexico, aka "getting my kicks on Route 66"😀😅 #VisitGallup #Gallup #NewMexico #travel #roadtrip #weekendgetaway #Route66 #Route66Roadtrip #history #vacation

I went underground to find new music, but found this cavern instead. 📍Carlsbad Cavern National Park, New Mexico (2023) #photography #geology #ProtectOurParks #travel

Other New Mexico towns, including Farmington and Roswell, also set new record-high temperatures for Christmas Day.

Hugs and love to those struggling this holiday season 🫶🏽🎁

Christmas Eve. 😊

Merry Christmas (Eve). Christmas lights/Farolitos = lunch bags, candles, sand 😁

I always thought the first time I had a chance to see and photograph the Aurora it would be somewhere like Iceland, or Alaska. I was wrong. It was in New Mexico! 😂 And if you look closely, you can see a bit of the Milky Way up above as well. #on1pics #photography #astrophotography

Good morning! Another appeal sent re. the spam filter. No response so far. Ever since they labeled this account as spam, the Discover feed became very populated w/ furry kink. Correlation isn't causation, but... I have access to other Bluesky accounts. Checked the Discover feed. No random kink. 🤨

Fort Stanton is an intact 19th-century military fort established in 1855. The fort served as a frontier post during the Apache Wars, the Civil War, evolving into a tuberculosis hospital & WWII internment camp. Adjacent to Fort Stanton-Snowy River Cave National Conservation Area. #NewMexico #travel

Many young artists in the state say New Mexico’s art scene isn’t going anywhere, but a high cost of living, a competitive landscape, and the rise of social media and artificial intelligence have changed the game for those getting their start. sfnm.co/4j6w9D4

Christmas is coming to New Mexico.

The Monastery of Christ in the Desert, in Northern New Mexico, is home to 15 Benedictine monks, some livestock, and a guesthouse for people looking for a little quiet in this turbulent world. "Sunday Morning" pays a visit.
