Rio Taos bosque: Monochromatic with a platinum/palladium tint.
Bosque is Spanish for woodlands growing up around rivers and streams in the high plains desert in Northern New Mexico. Specifically the Rio Taos which is the water supply for the Red Willow (Taos) Pueblo. The Pueblo was built from adobe mud and timbers in 1000 CE.
Platinum/Palladium was an early form of monochromatic photograpic printing from the 19th Century.
Platinum prints, also called platinotypes, are photographic prints made by a monochrome printing process that provides the greatest tonal range of any printing method using chemical development.
Platinum prints are made by photographers and favored by collectors because of their tonal range, the surface quality and their permanence. A platinum print provides a broad scale of tones from black to white. The platinum tones range from warm black, to reddish brown, to expanded mid-tone grays that are unobtainable in silver prints
