Magdalena and Socorro, NM part 2

Before starting, the photo of the black lab retriever was taken by Marisa, not me.

May 20th

After waking up at Dellas's Mother-in-laws house, I traveled to VLA (Very Large Array) with Kate Jonkman and Marcella Herington. VLA is where a bunch of radars are in NM- the same place where the movie Contact was filmed with Jodi Foster. While in the vistors center, I saw that one of the circut boards used in the radars can transfer 450 copies of War and Peace in 1/10 of a second!







A few hours later we traveled to a "Ghost town" called Kelly that is right down the road from where we ares staying at. It was definitely creepy walking in there during the day. I didn't photograph too much there- I feel that it is very cliche to photograph these types of places but I can't restrict myself too much on what I'm photographing. I am still growing as a photographer with much to learn.







*On the side of the Magdalena Mountains there is an appearance of Mary Magdalene that the town always talks about. It's been there for about a century I think. Regardless whether or not its natural or set up its fascinating to look at. Unfortunately I will have to upload that photo later since it appears to be lost...More tomorrow
