The mission ruins at Quarai and Gran Quivira, two of the four sites at the Salinas Pueblo Missions, one just to the north of Mountainair and one just a few miles to the south, date back to the 1600's. These two sites appear completely different in the color of the stones used, the complexity of the sites themselves, and the surrounding terrain.

The photographs in this photo tour were taken in early May of 2006. They highlight historical ruins at two sites of the Salinas Pueblo Missions. Related links for Salinas Pueblo Missions are listed near the bottom of this page.

Purchasing Prints
Prints of the images within are available for purchase through Kchisos Gallery, my physical art gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico. All images are available in 8 x 10 inch and 11 x 14 inch prints, while some are also available in 16 x 20 inch prints. Contact me at my gallery for pricing and additional information about print orders.
NOTE: because I have several photo journal web sites containing several hundred images, it is important to reference both the title of the web site (in this case: Go New Mexico Photo Journal) and the title of the image (as it appears above the image on the individual image page) when inquiring about print orders.
