These travel photos show my trip through New Mexico. It was a strangely beautiful experience with weather from scary ice storms to dry, sunny days. A highlight of the trip was exploring Petroglyph National Monument in Albuquerque. The hike was seamless and quiet, surrounded by ancient petroglyphs that sparked wonder about the thoughts and environment of our ancestors. The carvings, from simple shapes to animals and star-like patterns, show a glimpse into the past. This travel photography series, captured with the Canon EOS 5D Mark III and EF lenses, aims to preserve the timeless beauty and mystery of these ancient artworks.
