Perception

We were so excited on our drive to the pottery village of Mata Ortiz 
when we saw this turtle on the road!



Upon closer inspection....



a turn of the century hacienda that is undergoing renovation.


It was explained that the bricklayers would leave symbols on the bricks they placed and were payed accordingly after they were counted.

Wish we could have driven this truck home!

  1. Ah ~ the rare Goodyear rubber desert tortoise. Great find, Kim! I've got $1 that says that truck wouldn't get you home to Arizona, much less Alaska.

  5. What is it about old trucks, I too stopped to photograph an old truck out in Kansas. Both of them were sandblasted to a beautiful patina.
    Nice shot.
