Let explorer-photographer Ariela Desolina spirit you away to the untamed Southwestern wilderness of New Mexico, where haunting ruins - some with ghostly inhabitants - will capture your imagination. In her photography expeditions, Ariela visits windswept mesas, forgotten Wild West towns, cemeteries, jails, ranches and abandoned mines. Her striking images depict a majestic and isolated terrain where settlers once lived and died. Mysterious shapes and ghostly forms (undetected when the pictures were taken) sometimes appear in her photos. In addition to rugged frontier scenes, this collection also features photos of the notorious St. James Hotel in Cimarron, a famous haunt of outlaws and gamblers where 26 people died in shootouts. Also see the haunted ruins of the Kelly Mine, once among the richest old gold & silver mines in the Southwest where miners met tragic fates underground fates while cattle thieves roamed.
