Picture of the Day - 2/22/09



I found the above postcard of Central Ave. in Albuquerque taken in 1937. I tried to duplicate it as closely as I could, but the original appeared to be taken about 10 to 15 feet higher than street level, so I'm not getting exactly the same angle downwards. The major buildings seem to be the same, but the exterior is much different. Notice Keepsake Diamond Rings was around back then. It also looks like a Woolworth store on the left side.

Well, enough nostalgia for the moment - we'll be off Monday to visit the Very Large Array west of Socorro and then the Bosque del Apache wildlife refuge for morning and evening photos.
