Plaza Blanca (White Place), New Mexico

This is the famous White Place from Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings. The White Place is also one of the locations used in the movie, "Cowboys and Aliens". That morning I took a tour of her home and studio in Abiquiu. The White Place could be seen from her home and the tour guide pointed it out. Once I knew where to find it, I just couldn't resist going there even though it was mid-June and quite warm outside. Finding it was not difficult but did require driving on some dirt roads that were well worth the drive. There is quite a bit of interesting geology to see here in the various landscape forms as shown with my photographs shown below.
