Description
This was taken in Madrid (pronounced MADrid), New Mexico. In the 70's hippies settled here and some remained. What captivated me about this scene were the mailboxes, which appeared to be imbued with their own personalities and tell us much about the people who live in this town. Vehicles are parked in front of the No Parking sign. Are they still a little anti-establishment?
Madrid, New Mexico is actually part of Santa Fe County. It had been an old mining town and then turned into a ghost town. It is now an artist community located on the Turquois Trail.

Beautiful work of photographic artistry. Layered elements from the mailboxes to houses and hills and cloudy sky are subtly & yet dynamically vibrant.
