Hey hey USA - 25th October - a rather brutalist bathing beach and a view and a half

  We went down to the shore of the reservoir hoping to get close to the water. There is an area advertising itself as a bathing beach and having some changing rooms, toilets and picnic benches. Unhappily all these facilities are made of brutal concrete and ornamented with rusted metal. I am sure in the height of a New Mexico summer any place to get into the water would be good, but they could have made it more pleasant. Driving back towards Abiquiu the road makes a dramatic sweep around a cliff and there is a place to park to take in the view. I crawled underneath the barrier to get a better composition and Alan photographed me  returning!
