New Mexicans celebrate medieval culture

Christian Marquez | September 17

Every year, for the last 10 years, El Rancho De Las Golondrinas undergoes a physical transformation from a working hacienda into a medieval village for the Santa Fe Renaissance Fair. Over the past weekend, the 200-acre farm was overtaken by hundreds of knights and ladies dressed in their best 16th century attire. The fairgoers were greeted by various forms of period-appropriate entertainment including their most dangerous sports such as jousting, rapier fighting and armored combat. However, for most of these sportsmen, their game lasts longer than just the weekend.

Photo Story: Local farm offers chance to pick your own raspberries

Diana Cervantes | September 14

Tucked away between the Rio Grande River and the Corrales Community Farms lies a small patch of raspberry heaven. Heidi’s Raspberry U-Pick farm was started by Heidi Eleftheriou in 2001. Since then, visitors from all over New Mexico come to pick in-season raspberries from the many patches at the farm. Families can be seen laughing and peeking through vines along the lush raspberry corridors.

Photo Story: Sandia Tram remains an ABQ mainstay

Autumn Sage King | September 6

The Sandia Tram took its first trip up the mountain on May 7, 1966. The construction of the Tram took 24 months to complete and 60 days of testing the cable cars for safety before it was officially open for business. Each car can currently hold 50 passengers — approximately 10,000 pounds. It travels above the Cibola National Forest with cables that are 4,000 feet long, making the trip 15 minutes both ways.

Stuffed with worries and fears, the burning of Old Man Gloom lets participants in the annual event watch their worries go up in smoke. Santa Fe celebrated the 93rd annual burning of Zozobra Sept 1. Last year, more than 55,000 people attended the event, and this year’s crowd seemed to rival that record-breaking number.

A Good Friday trek on Tomé

Matthew Reisen | April 16

Light blues seeped into the desert sky as we trudged up the steep side of Tomé Hill. The trail was still isolated, save for a few people. As we rushed to the top, anxious to see the sunrise, I noticed a woman stepping very slowly. Once I was closer I noticed that her feet were bare upon the jagged rocks. She carried her shoes as tears streamed down her face. That was when it sunk in; the full magnitude of what this pilgrimage means to so many. Once at the top, we found ourselves among a group of about 20 people, surrounded by three huge crosses permanently fixed into the hill.
