I recently went back home to Santa Fe for the purpose of taking my lady Dianna to her first Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. It was a very memorable visit and we took so many photographs. We didn't focus on the traditional sites that most of the tourists visit as we have "been there and done that" last year. The photographs that were not taken at the Balloon Fiesta are outdoor "nature shots" so they may not help you with getting the Southwest feeling, but they are relaxing nontheless. We hope you like them.
