Runden avsluttes ved Footbridges Park i Santa Fe. Kartet er den faktiske byen, og ballen ruller over de faktiske gatene, og bruker lokale severdigheter som grenser for hullene. Denne raske runden med 9 hull dekker 3 mi til fots. Skip kjenner disse hjørnene godt og er den lokale guiden, selv om han bruker mesteparten av tiden sin på å lete etter smuler.
De spisse buene og de bratte linjene i den gotiske gjenopplivelsesstilen definerer utseendet til Loretto Chapel. Ligger i Santa Fe, New Mexico, dette bygget er et kapell som gjenspeiler en bestemt æra av religiøs arkitektur. Selv om det begynte sin historie som en romersk-katolsk kirke, har rommet endret formål over tid. I dag er det et privat museum og fungerer også som et bryllupskapell for de som besøker byen. Det er fortsatt et viktig landemerke i regionen for de som er interessert i historien til områdets religiøse bygninger. Du kan se hvordan de gotiske gjenopplivelseselementene skiller det fra andre strukturer i nabolaget, noe som gjør det til et fokuspunkt for de som utforsker den lokale arkitekturen i Santa Fe.
Se opp på den høye, avsmalnende steinen til Kit Carson-monumentet. Denne strukturen er en obelisk som står som et fremtredende landemerke i Santa Fe. Mens du går gjennom byen, kan du plukke ut dette monumentet blant de lokale severdighetene. Jeg har funnet ut at høyden på steinen gjør det til et nyttig referansepunkt når du navigerer i gatene i nærheten. Enten du besøker byen for historien eller bare er på gjennomreise, er det et distinkt element i byens fysiske utforming som er lett å se på avstand. Det fungerer som en tydelig vertikal markør i et område der arkitekturen ofte er mer horisontal, noe som gjør det til en pålitelig guide for alle som utforsker byen til fots.
Georgia O'Keeffe Museum har Pueblo Revival-stil. Dette kunstmuseet er en ideell organisasjon som består av flere steder i Santa Fe og Abiquiu, New Mexico. Hvis du er ute etter dypere forskning, inkluderer museet et bibliotek og arkiv i forskningssenteret i det historiske A.M. Bergere-huset. For de som er interessert i kunstnerens personlige miljø, inkluderer museet også Georgia O'Keeffes historiske hjem og atelier i Abiquiu. Jeg har alltid syntes at de jordnære fargene på bygningene passer perfekt til sollyset i New Mexico. Det er et fantastisk sted å tilbringe en ettermiddag og se hvordan de lokale omgivelsene påvirket arbeidet som stilles ut, spesielt når du vurderer museets tilstedeværelse både i byen og i det landlige landskapet.
