Here’s one last shot from New Mexico of the sunset. The sunsets were in general less hazy than the sunrises, hence the crisper mountains in the background. You can expect the next shots from me to look a lot colder and more festive for the upcoming holidays. Stay warm…

Day breaks slowly as the morning frost turns to mist, enveloping the mountains above. Slivers of light carve shapes in the clouds as they hover motionless above the peaks. Like a coloring book the dark night comes to life piece by piece in perfect harmony. Out here the sunset feels like the end of the world, the sunrise like earth’s first breath. A scale so immense that reason fails to quantify its magnitude. One could wander for hundreds of miles yet still spend an eternity in blissful solitude… a solitude marked by the occasional company of giants strewn haphazardly among the desert terrain like a child’s play toys. But these toys are immovable, their sounds silent. The only sign of life on this abandoned playground is one’s own breath. And even that is fleeting as it quickly dissipates into the vast emptiness. This is no ordinary beauty. It is a beauty so lonely that God himself must have left in search of livelier company. But places like this exist for a purpose - they are here to remind us of the timeless peace and calm into which we were all born and into which we all return.
I’m thrilled to announce that I will be returning home to Boston from New Mexico early tomorrow morning. We were originally supposed to stay until Wednesday, but the early conclusion of testing for work has allowed us to return early to the winter wonderland that is now Boston. Why would I want to return to so much snow when I’m in the middle of sunny weather, immense landscapes, gorgeous sunrises, and the best Mexican food in the US? The simple answer is… home is home, and I’m looking forward to a white Christmas and some bad Boston takeout. But first I’d like to share a picture of the sunrise I took this morning in Las Cruces New Mexico… a sunrise we never see in Boston. I hope you enjoy it as I woke up at 6 in the morning to take it!
