Sunsets Over Socorro, New Mexico


On most evenings around here the backroad between Escondido, NM and the EMRTC facility offers up a nightly light show at sunset...







Great cloud formations...











"M" Mountain (7,243 ft.), which overlooks Socorro, NM offers a great backdrop for sunsets...







Even the Ladron Mountains (9210 ft.) 30 miles to the north can be seen in the distance from this backroad....







So, if you're ever passing through Socorro, NM in the evening hours, take the Escondido exit off I-25 then head west....





...and enjoy the show.

A city man is at home anywhere, for all big cities are pretty much alike. But a country man has a place where he belongs, where he always returns, and where, when the time comes, he is willing to die.

Edward Abbey
