On Thursday, I headed to Socorro, New Mexico, for a welcome break, where I could do some bird photography. Last week also was the annual “Festival of Cranes” in Socorro and Bosque del Apache. In between visiting the Wildlife Refuge, I spent some time in Socorro. Here is one of the murals next to a parking lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across the road is Ace Hardware, that looks like it had some new window dressing. In the adjacent building is the fabulous blue door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several buildings are in run-down or in disrepair around the city. I found this one that had stepped walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driving back to the city, from a distance, I noticed a building with a conical turret. I had not noticed in prior visits to Socorro, so I decided to find its location. It turned out to be quite close to the plaza!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made some images of birds in the Refuge. Maybe in another post later?
