I braved the monster lines in security yesterday morning, along with all of the inauguration revelers, to catch my flight to Albuquerque. I had to travel to New Mexico for a couple of days so before heading out, I fired up my Google Earth to see if I could find something cool to shoot in the brief free-time that I had. What I found was the Sandia Peak Tramway in Albuquerque. The tramway is the longest in the world, stretching 2.7 miles and rising to an altitude of 10,378 feet. At the top is a great observation deck that affords views of the 11,000 square mile panoramic view that stretches out around the peak. I traveled up at a little before 5:00 so that I could get some daylight shots and then watch the sunset over Albuquerque. It was a little colder than I expected and kind of windy but I did manage to get a couple of nice shots. It’s beautiful country and I would love to spend some time just driving around on a photo excursion. Maybe someday soon. Until then, here’s a couple from yesterday.

Dude, you really gotta tell people before you run off to NM. I would die for some real green chili = ) I am hoping to get out that way this summer, although it will be Santa Fe If I go.
