Description
Lincoln, New Mexico, is steeped in old west lore thanks its connection to Billy the Kid. The area, now preserved as a historic site, contains a wonderful collection of 18th and early 19th century buildings. The Torreon stands in the center of town and provided Lincoln's citizens a defensive stronghold. The defensive tower played a prominent role in the Lincoln County War as rival factions fought for control of the region and its economic resources. Stone and sky create a wonderful contrast in classic black and white.
