The Last of Albuquerque

Once I got out of the tram, the whole world seemed to brighten up. The view was breathtaking – literally! Being so high up, I found it hard to catch my breath. It wasn’t the elevation, it was my fear of heights getting caught right in the middle of my throat! It was freezing, there was snow and I wasn’t about to go slipping off the edge just for that perfect shot! haha  I was able to snap a few pictures before I ran inside for dinner.*

This next one shows that storm I kept posting from different heights.

*I brightened both of these photos up in hopes that they aren’t so dark on other computer monitors.

Distant Weather

This first view of the storm in the distance looked so different after time had passed and elevation had increased. It’s amazing, how the first photo is so blue and the second is so yellow.

You can also see a bit more of this storm in this photo. I’m guessing that the rain is coming down pretty hard on the left side and it’s only showering on the right. I like the way the mist seems to float and create “waves” and how all of it is illuminated by the setting sun.
