Flying Things

So does this photograph speak of the Southwest? Brilliant blue skies, clear until forever, mountains in the distance, and these sun screens suspended by wires to shade the patio area of Petroglyph National Monument visitor center, outside of Albuquerque. And the choice of color for the screens is not accidental - the color reminds us of the color of adobe, and there are so many buildings built of adobe out here. Even the new interstate bridges are painted the color of adobe, with a beautiful turquoise band running the length of the bridges.
