Last April, I explored the bizarre ghost town of Madrid. This is where I started to really get into my journey: I was out on my own, with interesting people, seeing beautiful new things. My camera loved it in Madrid, and so did I: someday, I might just try to spend some time there.

For now, I’ve got a ton of photos. Enjoy!

Madrid, New Mexico

Madrid (pronounced MA-drid, not ma-DRID) is a place unlike any other on Earth. The closest thing to a chronosynclastic infundibulum I’ve ever experienced, it’s at once a ghost town and a close-knit community, a hippie haven and a biker joint, a pile of junk and a work of art, an abandoned battleground in the war of Man vs. Nature and a fertile bed of new life… I stayed here just over a week, and took over a hundred photos.

Howdy folks! I’m on the road again today, leaving Madrid, New Mexico and headed to Denver.

Took some photos of this crazy junk-art town while I was here. Here’s one to tide you over until I can post the rest:

Come back soon now, y’hear?

Tidbits!

Let’s be brief: I’ve left Taos and landed in Madrid, New Mexico. This place is awesome, and there’ll be plenty of great entries from here (photos too); that said, I still have more to write about Taos and Earthships. Check in soon & often, lots of articles in the pipe!

But for today, I’m settling in at my new digs. So instead of posting a full piece now, I’ll just recommend some April Fool’s Day reading for you: Burning Man announces plans for a 4 lane toll road to Black Rock City, and Gmail automates your email responses!
