Southwestern Gate
I've shown pictures from the Hermosa Inn before but, now that so many things are blooming, I thought it would be nice to show another view from this gorgeous resort. These are the gates you enter from the parking area when you are going to indulge in lunch or dinner at the resort. The entrance really enhances the spirit of the southwest and those blooming palo verde trees in the background have put on their finest for this shot.
I can't leave the resort without showing one more of the many Allan Houser sculptures that have found a home on the resort's grounds. This one is called The Corngrinder.

Beautiful symmetry and composition in this image Sharon, wonderful backdrop, as you say so Arizona.. Really like the corn grinder's smooth lines.
Gorgeous, I can almost feel that warming heat!
The Hermosa Inn is a quiet treasure.
The gate is wonderful! Simple but at the same time special. The little lamps on each side, are lovely as well.

They have done a wonderful job of making it all so beautiful.
Looks very minamalistic
I love sitting on the patio enjoying their wonderful food and drinks. It has a very peaceful secluded atmosphere. Great photo of the front gate with the trees over the top!
'Tis a gorgeous gate, open or closed. The Hermosa Inn must be an elegant, upscale place. Maybe they'd let me visit if I asked nicely?
Love the gates, the shadows, and the sculpture!
This is absolutely gorgeous, the gate the adobe, the planters and the Houser sculpture is a gem. But then he is a great artist in my opinion.
(The photo today on VDP is double exposure but I just wish I knew how it happened!)
Returning thanks to the earth. It;s beautiful. This sculpture was at the DBG during Las Luminarias one year. It looks like the perfect place for it.
Wonderful shots. The place looks unmistakably Southwestern.
These beautiful photos are sooooooooooo Southwestern! Good eye, Sharon.
It's a beautiful resort.
Houser definitely was a remarkable artist. One reason I love Santa Fe and its art is because of his pieces scattered all over the place.
This girl from Quincy, Illinois has sure become a lover of the dry Southwest, hasn't she?
Great composition of the beautiful adobe wall with the mountain in the background!
