Walking Old Town Albuquerque (a touristy attraction comprised mostly of trinket shops) I turned down a side alley to find this simple adobe wall with wooden support beams (technical term: vigas), casting long shadows at a 45-degree angle across the stucco canvas.
Early morning sunlight brightens rusted wrought iron window bars guarding a teal-colored window frame in Santa Fe. Weathered, splintered, wooden beam posts (called vigas) protrude from the top of the wall.
