Dallas Road Trip | Santa Fe Adobe Art Aesthetics Part 2

Bandelier Cliff Dwellings Hike: Climb a 42-meter wooden ladder to explore ancient caves. Use a telephoto lens to capture beams of light through the cliff crevices, with Indian totem murals as the foreground. 🚶 Route Tips: Most attractions are concentrated in the historic district and are easily accessible on foot. In the evening, head to the viewpoint near La Juventud Cultural Center and the Cross of the Martyrs to see the panoramic view of the adobe town under the setting sun. It’s also perfect for night photography. 📸 Photography Tips: The architecture has a unified color palette. Capturing details like door frames, vigas (wooden beams), and drum-shaped chimneys will yield rich Southwestern-style photos. Common elements like cacti in street corners and courtyards, and the scattered red flowers of the sea buckthorn along the road, make for lovely backgrounds! 🔸Hotel: Inn & Spa at Loretto Location: Adjacent to landmark attractions, within walking distance to the Palace of the Governors, Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, and other core sites. It’s also just a wall away from the famous Loretto Chapel, where visitors can get up close to the “miraculous spiral staircase.” 🪴Architectural Style: The hotel’s exterior mimics the Pueblo adobe architecture of New Mexico’s indigenous people, with earth-colored walls, wooden beams, and stepped structures. It’s known as “the most photographed building in New Mexico.” #travel #DallasLife #DallasPhotography #PhotoSpots #ArtAndArchitecture
