| This is a typical Santa Fe neighborhood. This is near St. John's College. |
Santa Fe, also known as the city different is in a high desert region. It sits at over 7,000 feet at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo range of the Rockies. Snow stays on the peaks most of the year. With a population of only 71,831, in many states, Santa Fe might not be considered a city at all, but it is the fourth largest in New Mexico. In addition, it is the third largest art market in the United States. Opportunities for outdoor recreation are endless. There's skiing, hiking, rock climbing, fishing, hunting, kayaking, and more.
The Loretto Resort and Spa is a luxury hotel in downtown Santa Fe that has gone green. It is a great place to relax.
 |
| Nearly everything is based on the adobe theme in Santa Fe. Even this parking attendant shed is creative and made of adobe.. The plants are also holding up surprisingly well even with the low temperatures of late. |
|
 |
| This is one of the tallest buildings in the city different. Also, notice how small the sidewalks are. Santa Fe is built around what has existed for hundreds of years, not to be a city of modern convenience. |
 |
| Most people photograph the two chapels in downtown Santa Fe, but there are many other quaint chapels all over town, such as the one pictured here. |
 |
| This private home is a good example of the use of native plants in Santa Fe. |
 |
| Bricks other than adobe are a rare thing in Santa Fe, but is an example of a pre-zoning restriction wall. As you can see, it doesn't really fit in. Hence, the newer restrictions. |
Santa Fe is a beautiful and exciting city. I recommend a visit or even relocation to anyone looking for a great urban lifestyle with unlimited potential for outdoor experiences.
