Ranchitos Road in Winter

Every year in Taos there are a few days where the snow falls over night and the moist conditions allow the flakes to stick to every tiny limb of the trees. This photograph was taken on just such a morning.

About this place:

Taos is a small town in northern New Mexico. It is the ancestral home of the Taos Pueblo. Elevation is 7000 ft. above sea level. The Taos Ski Valley is one of a handful of ski only mountains in the U.S. and is part of the Sangre de Christo mountain range. The Rio Grande river runs thru Taos as well and is found at the bottom of a deep gorge. Taos has been known as an art colony for close to a century and has more artists per square mile than probably any other town in the U.S.
