One of the advantages of a 4-wheel drive Jeep is that you can go off road in snowy weather and be given an image like this one. This is a shot of the Tibetan Monastery in Oregon (near Mt. Ashland) with snow on the roof and a snowdrift in the foreground with footprints in the snowdrift.
I had been photographing for about a week at Bryce and Zion Canyons and had stopped in Santa Fe on my way to Albuquerque to fly back home to Boston. Immediately after entering Santa Fe, I saw this and had to photograph it as the colors of the car so perfectly mirrored the palette of the mural in the background.
