Earthship Homes Taos, NM

Today I went on an adventure which blew my mind. I visited an area literally surrounded by nothing but Earthships. If you are curious to know what that is (as I was) an Earthship is basically a radically sustainable home made by recycled material with parts of the home built underground. These Earthships get electricity from the sun and wind, get water from rain and snow melt off, and get heating and cooling from the sun and the earth. The one I visited today was owned by a photographer who used the various different rooms of her house that were all unique for photoshoot backdrops. Part of the house actually had Wal-Mart doors as windows and the rest was put together with scrap wood she gathered over years. It was truly amazing. I am going to spend some more time with her researching the area and taking photos with her so check back soon for more.
