We’re having one of our very few cloudy, sometimes rainy days here in New Mexico today, so I was able to capture a view of the mountains near Albuquerque shrouded in clouds.

The view is from atop the northwest mesa, looking east across the valley to see the gathering of the clouds, almost totally obscuring the Sandia Mountain Range. A sight so common to people in other areas as to be taken for granted, yet so precious to those of us in rain-starved states as to be immortalized.
