I get to live in what I think is the most beautiful place in the world. I also get to live in the most interesting city, a place that is 400 plus years old and where the architecture is unlike anything else in the world.
But I lead a busy life. I hurry through the streets of Santa Fe, headed to a meeting or that ever important lunch on a plaza bench with a Five and Dime Frito Pie in my lap.
Occasionally I forget to stop and look around me. Yesterday afternoon I was headed back to the Keller Williams office (which, as luck would have it, is located only a half block north of the Plaza) when I noticed a young man with a camera pointed upward. I stopped and looked up and caught these images of the front of the St. Francis Auditorium, which was built in 1917.
I walk past this building every day. I’m glad a stranger made me stop and pay attention for a minute. The New Mexico fall sky is pretty breathtaking on its own, but paired with this building, it’s amazing.
How often do you walk past the same spot day after day and not really see it? We’re so often on auto-pilot that we can forget to appreciate all of the beauty around us. I’m lucky to live in such a beautiful and historic place, but everywhere in the world has some beauty and splendor to it. Share a picture of somewhere you pass by and are just now beginning to appreciate. I’d love to see what you’re seeing on your daily commutes too!
