I have a particular fascination with the Sandia Mountains that tower over Albuquerque, New Mexico. This is hardly a surprise since I live right next to them. Still, for me, creating a stunning photograph of them is something I am constantly striving for, and occasionally, I succeed. Serene Sandias is one of those moments.
The autumn morning was crisp, although gloomy. All in all, it was a typical fall morning for New Mexico. Still, it held some promise and maybe, just maybe, today would be the day. The trees were changing into their autumn display, but not every tree was changing at the same time. The variety of colors made for an impressive scene: all I needed was for it all to come together.
As the day wore on, the clouds, and gloom, began to break up and the sun peeked through here and there. I waited, and waited some more, hoping the scene would come together. The Sandia Mountains change rapidly–all I had to do was wait and hope.
Fate was with me! Just as a few Canadian Geese settled onto the Rio Grande river, the sun broke through the clouds, lighting up the Sandia Mountains. The geese, together with the broad range of fall colors and clearing storm, created the perfect moment.
