This was taken in downtown Santa Fe ("The City Different") while walking around the closed-to-car-traffic streets during the annual Spanish Market.
In 1965 the Spanish Colonial Arts Society revived Spanish Market, which it originally had sponsored from 1926 until the mid-1930's. Held in conjunction with the annual Indian Market on the Santa Fe Plaza, it renewed the society's commitment to support the artistic growth of Hispanic artists native to New Mexico and southern Colorado and working in traditional art forms. Spanish Market remained part of Indian Market until 1972, when the event took its own place on the plaza during the last full weekend in July. A smaller Winter Market, started by the society in 1989, is held in downtown Santa Fe each December. Today, after two decades of market growth and change, the once-intimate Spanish Market has become the largest exhibition of traditional Hispanic Arts in the United States. |

Hi JC Ramos !
A very interesting photo and point of view!
Colours are fine, and a sharp image, too!
Do you also have pictures from Albuquerque,New Mexico? I lived there in 1970/1971... a long time ago.
IŽd be curious to see pictures from Albuquerque, too.
TFS! Cheers!
Greetings from RECIFE-Brazil,
Nivaldo
