Sunset was really pretty tonight. The sky is full of storm clouds and there are a few more clouds peeking over Sandia Mountain to make sure it’s safe to come...
I had to be out and about yesterday and the weather was just miserable. It was cold, windy and hailing. The hail was about pea sized and hurt when it...
Lovely photograph. The dark mass of the land grounds the image and balances the brilliant colors of the sky, and the tiny glimmers of light from the town are echoes of the colors of the sunset. Cropping out the bottom of the image would, I think, take away the strength and power of this shot and reduce it to a picture of a pretty sky.
Helen, this photo is amazing! I’ve been away from Albuquerque for seven years, but your photo reminds me that it is, hands down, my favorite city at night.

2006-08-26 07:52I like BOTH the top and lower half. You might try John’s suggestion, too, to see how it looks. Lucky you, to live in NM, which I dearly love.
