That’s how it looks to me in this telephoto shot from the back yard in Llano Quemado.

That is the view from your backyard?

Yes, but it IS a mild (4x?) telephoto view of the slopes just southeast of Taos Mountain. They don’t really look that close, in other words. The trees on either side are at the bottom of the yard. I should call it a “yard,” though, because it’s all wild.

That is awesome and yes, I am jealous.

Well, we also don’t have any overhead lights, paved parking, or a closet. The road destroys cars. There is zero storage space. The septic system is broken. This is the funkiest place we’ve ever lived in, and for the moment, we can’t afford to move. But view-wise, we’re doing OK!

I took a hike before dark. Forty minutes completely alone tromping through the snow. Can’t do that everywhere.
