JohnO NZ @johno49nz.bsky.social · 18hThere seems to be 2 museums and I’m not sure which one we went to. Up on a hill? Santa Fe had/has a market at the Governor’s palace. This was our lovely little “souvenir” from there - a choice inspired by the wonderful Ildefonso pieces at the Millicent Rogers museum in Taos. It’s about 3” dia. 000

JohnO NZ @johno49nz.bsky.social · 10/10/2026A sad irony is that they greatly contribute to anthropogenic climate change inducing El Niño droughts and need government handouts to store water to keep the grass growing (>1000litres/litre of milk) to feed their cows to then dehydrate it for exportable milk powder - using large amounts of energy. 151
