Of course I have more photos, Grump! I shall put them up. I am slow these days, you know. Yes, my older daughter and I got up at 4 am to go see the sunrise.
My dearest Dowser, I thought of you many times on this trip, you know, with you being a geologist. You would have known so much more about the rock formations than I could ever hope to understand! Thanks for coming by. Indeed, it was very peaceful, although I was surprised at the number of tourists that showed up so early in the morning, equipped with high-tech cameras and all.
I know, Grump. Sunsets are just as pretty. The Sandia Peaks sunset was a treat, recommended by you! I am so mad at myself for having left the camera at the hotel!!!!!
That's an absolutely great shot. You have framed it with the silhouetted trees, and the hills show as layers going into the distance. Also quite fascinating is the red and aquamarine colour patch showing up in the tree on the left.
EEEEEEEEEEek, indeed. I told you that at lunch, Grump! I forgot the camera and realized it only when I got there. It was always in my purse, except when it needed charging, and I realized that only too late .
Thank you, Buzz - I might add that some of the characteristics you mention were a pure and happy accident! Although lately, I have been practicing a bit of the technical elements, inspired by all the wonderful photographers here and A. Mac. Still have ways to go, though.
I did it too the last time I was in Albuquerque, many years ago (far enough back so we were still traveling on US 66). We stayed the night just west of the mountains and came up over the last one just as the sun was coming up behind us. The city had a low haze over it, with the buildings sticking up through it. Looked like everything was glowing. Naturally, the camera was packed in the trunk.
Glad I revived some memories through these pics, TTGA! I did a fair amount of traveling on that route 66. A lot, actually. Of course, the camera sometimes isn't where it ought to be . At least, I have the picture in my mind!
It was beautiful!
You must have more photos than that to show us. Beautiful, BTW. You had to get up early.
How did I miss this?
Glad I caught up to it -- well done!
Beautiful photo Neetu...

Lol, Mac, I had put it up without the first comment initially. Maybe that's why. But, you are here now and thank you!
Beautiful view. Looking forward to the others when you find time. Thanks.
Thank you, dear Kavika. It's the view that was beautiful and so peaceful.
That is so beautiful! I wish I were right there, right now... Looks like peace to me!
Just gorgeous Neetu! What a wonderful shot and what a way to be greeted in the morn'
I'm not a morning person. I would have gone for a sunset.

Thank you, Six. Time...hmmm, I think I am a procrastinator, but I promise I will put up more soon!
Indeed, Perrie, it was a wonderful way to rise, with the sun!

Eeeeeeek !!! No, don't tell me that. No me digas!!!

Neetu,
I did it too the last time I was in Albuquerque, many years ago (far enough back so we were still traveling on US 66). We stayed the night just west of the mountains and came up over the last one just as the sun was coming up behind us. The city had a low haze over it, with the buildings sticking up through it.

These shots are beautiful.

. At least, I have the picture in my mind!
I like the way the light is coming through the rocks and illuminating further into the canyon....
So peaceful.
Yes, Brolly, thank you. The serenity of that hour was very palpable.
Oops, I screwed it up. The sun was coming up IN FRONT of us, since we were traveling East.
It looks beautiful either way, TTGA!
