Sandia

Images from the Sandia Mountains to the north and east of downtown Albuquerque, NM, the range that the city nestles directly under. These are infrared images made from a small park at the edge of town, at the foot of the hills, called the Elena Gallegos Picnic Area. Here you're a few hundred feet higher than downtown by the Rio Grande bosque, and have a grand view of the mountains and the river valley.
