Description
80 years ago in 1934, recovering from a nervous breakdown, frustrated and seeking inspiration, Georgia O'Keeffe drove her Model T Ford to the edges of Ghost Ranch for the first time. She immediately decided to move there.
O'Keeffe wrote: "[the] cliffs over there are almost painted for you�you think�until you try to paint them." Among guests to visit her at the ranch over the years were Charles and Anne Lindbergh, singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell, poet Allen Ginsberg, and photographer Ansel Adams.
The rest is art history.
This shot in perhaps a spot that can be considered the southern beginning or gateway to Ghost Ranch.

Thank you Katerina, I thought to make this vintage as suggesting the 1934 arrival in her Model-T Ford.
