  • Hello Big Daddy!!! Just took my daily stroll through Ken's World and stumbled on this beauty. Thought this looks familiar, and it was, this is on the Turquoise trail isn't it. We even took the same shot "old housing in Madrid" how funny! Hope your're having a wonderful Sunday, now that the Sun's returned to Texas! Take care, Marita, Houston, tx

  • Thanks, Ken, for the congrats on my featured album today. God keeps painting another picture at the gardens every season for Sharon, me and all who visit there! Your album is very fascinating; great photos. At first when I saw the title, it made me think you had been to New Madrid, MO, but then I saw New Mexico. Hope you and your family are well. Bob

  • Hi Ken...What a fascinating album. I think its wondrful to take an old deserted mine town and open it to tourists, restoring its original state, or close to it. What wonderful shots of the old buildings, houses, stores and shops. Great album and I bet it was a great place to visit. hugs and love, Barbara

  • Hi Ken, We really like this album, it is just so neat to see the changes from your first trip to the last. We especially like the name of the trading post, "Ghost Town" and your comment, to notice the various pastel colors of the shops! Thanks for sharing the past and present Madrid with us, Candy and Larry.

  • Great shots, Ken. It's interesting to see how similar in many ways, the scenery in New Mexico is to parts of Alaska. I enjoyed the shots very much and I think the last one is my favourite. Thanks for sharing. Arthur
