Angels in Santa Fe

I'm home from the Left Coast Crime mystery convention in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I only brought my point-and-shoot camera, so initially I wasn't thinking I'd post any photos from Santa Fe. But then I remembered my own advice that the camera itself is much less important than what you see through the lens. And I did see some very cool things in Santa Fe.

The angel sculptures in Santa Fe weren't the typical type of angels I photograph in cemeteries, but I found them intriguing all the same. Here are a few of them below:

Angel sculptures along the waterfront of the Santa Fe River.

  2. I used to know a very wise woman, a former teacher of mine, who I would swear had an extra eye in the middle of her chest, just like that angel in your first photo. She always seemed to see with her heart.
