Amazing!!!

I've driven through/past there a dozen times and never thought it could look anything like that.

Thanks,
Eddie

I use it as background on my computer. Makes me homesick for New Mexico. Would move to Taos in a minute except my wife hates snow. We spent two years in Fairbanks, Alaska and that was enough snow to last her a lifetime.

Wow, that's some shot!

Nice picture. There have been some openings in Alaska and I was after my wife to let me take the job but she kept insisting that I get a drug test before we continued the conversation . And she grew up in the "snowbelt" in upstate New York, where you didn't see the blacktop until spring! When I first visited her in her hometown I was amazed how fast everyone drove around on the snowpacked roads. -Ed

Is that Sandia Mountain?

 

[froggy]

Yes, it is.

Did you ride the cable car up the mountain? I've been to Albuquerque 2 or 3 times. We did the cable car & had dinner at the restaurant once. All I can say about that view in twilight is, "WOW!"

 

[froggy]

Yes, several times, but not in years. My mother lives on the west side in Rio Rancho and my sister and niece live on the east side of the city just below the mountain. Usually I just sit on my mother's back porch and watch the mountain as it changes colors when sun sets in the evening.

Mornin Froggy,
Wow very nice !!! Although it might be even nicer without all those buildings with lights in the foreground !

 

[froggy]

Her friend said he wanted to get the Rio Grande, the Bosque, city lights and mountain all in the shot.

 

[sjbasin]

Wow. That's good. Really good. And I was born in Albuquerque and have seen a bazillion shots of the city over the decades.

Froggy, What a great shot...Thanks for posting

One of my now retired co-workers lived in NewMexico for a few years , He really liked it... And when he moved back east the humidity almost killed him... Guess what, Now that he is retired he just moved to Texas..

He is going to love the heat and humidity in August.

Froggy,
Can you provide the name of the person who took the picture? Thanks.

Froggy, what a great photo!
I've been up there in Sandia Mountain when I visited my friend Larry G (gugloils). He live in Edgewood about an hour out of Albuquerque. We went on a motorcycle ride all through that area. That sure is nice out there.

 

[froggy]

Never have heard from my niece. She is expecting a girl in August and replying to me about this is the last thing on her mind.
