Default Josefina's

OK, this is the iconic door or gate in Mesilla, so I have avoided it as a possible cliche thus far....but it needs to be here. It's a cool gate.

Crawling around town..stalking doors. Everytime I think I'm running out of subjects, Presto! there's another cool one.

Default The old gate versus the replacement

There's a gate here in town that used to rival the famous, iconic Josefina's Gate, which is immortalized in paintings, photos, drawings, you name it. This gate didn't get the attention of Josefina's but it's one I always loved..in a pretty run-down wall and family compound. Last year the arch fell over. It was always looking fragile so this wasn't a huge surprise. What was a surprise (and not a good one) was the clumsy effort to rebuild it, where the only resemblance to the fallen arch was the fact that it, too, was adobe. This is how to do it wrong, and also an appreciation of what was. The new but certainly not improved is the middle pic. The early photo is courtesy of my neighbor and good friend Tony L. Mil gracias Tony!
