Axle -- Santa Fe Railyards -- July 15, 2022

During the evening of Friday, July 15th, 2022 we parked the Axle Contemporary mobile art van at the Santa Fe Railyards during the concert by Hayes Carll (link to his website), from 5-9 PM.  In spite of the photos below, we had a steady trickle of visitors:

Soon the far end of this corridor
would be filled with concert goers


Open for business --
 on the Site Santa Fe side,
on the opposite end of the Railyards from the concert


The party train passed us as well,
on their way to Lamy, New Mexico


From the inside,
looking out


Concert goers lined both sides of the tracks
by the time the concert started, certainly by 8 PM,
and some of them visited our art van


some Austin-style country music

The last Rail Runner train
passing Axle, headed to Albuquerque


One of the most enthusiastic visitors was a one-and-a-half year old who loved crawling in and out of the van.  He cried when his mother tried to walk him to the concert, so she had to bring him back to re-visit the van.  I heard that later during the concert, he was still pointing at the van from a long distance.  There were a few other little boys his age that also loved crawling in and out of the van -- to look at our prints, I'm sure.

The evening started hot, but cooled down as the rain clouds built up, delivering another one of those  mystical New Mexico evenings.  I didn't run into any rain until I was heading back to Albuquerque on I-25.
