MOMENTS IN TIME | Through the Lens: Imaging Santa Fe | New Mexico PBS

[@valsainking]

Santa Fe is one of those places that stay with you forever once you've been there. The gorgeous Sangre de Cristo mountains, the bluer than blue skies, the high altitude, the remoteness and isolation of the high desert landscape, and of course the architecture. It all feels so exotic, primal and otherworldly, it is hard to get that state of being out of one's consciousness. This is especially true during the winter, with the colder temperatures and snow making it all seem even more remote and surreal. Add to that the fact that the place is an art and culinary mecca of global renown and you have a truly magical destination. This mini photographic journey was extremely enlightening, but also extremely powerful emotionally and even heartbreaking at times.

Magnífico vídeo. Me encanta la ciudad de Santa Fe, su historia, sus monumentos históricos, sus iglesias, sus casas de adobe, su rica herencia hispana....Santa Fe es una ciudad que recomiendo visitar. Gracias por compartir este vídeo.

I can remember being in Santa Fe as a very small kid, & somehow I knew the history of the place was as deep & ingrained as the marow of my own bones. Little did I know that decades later I would become fiendishly obsessed with the history & mystery of The Land Of Enchantment. I really enjoyed the pictures in this video!

My granddad owned the Firestone store near the Governors' Palace in the early 40s of the last century. I was just a little boy, but my memories of those times are vivid. They are beautiful memories. Because they are just memories now, also painful.

I enjoy this video so much...I've watched it several times.

[@doramartinez9497]

Lately I've been watching a lot of new Mexico it's interesting to know what happened in our state. Parents are from penasco so I've been looking for those also. Found them really interesting 🤔

Some pics said CA and they are clearly from New Mexico.

[@JeffNorris1959]

CA means circa, or around a certain time.

[@user-or5zd6fh7s]

Spanish, Hispanics,Mexicans , real true cowboys.

[@ronniehenwood8580]

You are right, but it ended with Anglos of America coming west. You mentioned, Spanish, Hispanics, Mexicans, but too bias to mention Anglos. Who were all over New Mexico and had Ranches also.

The sinister laugh as she states they painted all the buildings out and moved all the brown people out!

[@valsainking]

That statement carried with it a heartbreaking realization. The tone of irony in her voice was palpable and extremely on target given the poignant message conveyed by the photographs used. Case in point: one of the often forgotten consequences of 'progress/urban renewal' (i.e., 'gentrification') is the displacement of the native population.

The Plaza was changed when libral hate destroyed a centuries old monument.

[@taroman7100]

"it can never lose it's past" I'm afraid that is happening due to developers and the new people with their PC BS

[@HeroT]

CA!!!??? Its NM!

[@relicaro21]

I have never understand why New Mexicans deny their Mexican roots. Those houses are not spanish architecture those are and look the same as what poor people would build in Mexico. Obviously the cathedral was build by spaniards same as down in Mexico. If New Mexicans would like to se colonial buildings, visit Zacatecas capital and go downtown.

[@dab0331]

They have a lot of Spanish features. Especially the porches. They have those Spanish style beams. Pure Adobe Indian architecture is much more cruder.

[@josephstearn3393]

Actually the Cathedral was commissioned by French Archbishop Lamy and of Midi Romanesque design ;)

[@grandeopera]

Pueblo Revival on steroids- ;-)

[@JossJessRdz]

It's NUEVO MÉXICO, not New Mexico, 'cause before than United States stole us the half of the territory, Nuevo Mexico was a state of independent México, and before that, Nuevo México was a spanish colony. It's the same case of Alta California and Texas. We still don't understand why the gringos change the names to spanish from english.

[@ronniehenwood8580]

Think about it. It's America, why would it stay a Mexican name. America won the war, so we get to say the names. Mexico had to do the same thing with Spain. America was the dominant civilization under it's constitution and has proven that. Just be happy we kept half the names the same and allowed commerce and trade, instead of conquering more land. Before Spain was here the natives were here, it was never Mexico's independently.
