How beautiful are these mountains??
As we drove from Albuquerque up to Colorado this gorgeous mountain range kept peeking out at us. I’m fairly sure it’s somewhere in northern New Mexico (maybe southern Colorado?), but don’t take my word for it — I’m not always fully lucid when driving.
I really wanted to get a picture of these cheeky devils, though, but every time I saw a great vantage point to take a photo from I realized it wasn’t exactly safe to slam on the brakes and pull over to the shoulder of a one-lane highway in an massive motorhome.
But whatevs, I got impatient, so that’s exactly what I did. After screeching to a dusty (albeit controlled, I swear!) stop, I darted across the highway and trespassed on someone’s cattle farm to get this shot.
In my humble opinion, I’d say it was well worth the effort.

I love the view, and I completely understand your desire to find a way to get the shot.

Love panorama shots. And that area really lends itself to it!

I’m a huge fan of panoramas as well, but I haven’t had much opportunity to them. Glad that’s changing now – the SW is full of great landscapes.
Nice shot! Love those mountains how far away were you from them.
We used a zoom lens, so unfortunately we weren’t as close as this photo makes it out to be.
Q: How beautiful are these mountains??
A: Very.

Haha, great answer!
Very beautiful, but I am thankful you didn’t get shot. Travel with green chili’s, I hear they’re mighty popular out there. Use them to barter in case you ever get caught trespassing for a photo!
We’ll definitely have to do something to avoid getting shot while trespassing, lol. I don’t normally make it a habit to trespass, but you just never know what will happen!
I love the wide angle shot and the blue tone of this photo.

Hi Grace, thanks for the comment. The blue tones are one of my favorite parts of the photo as well.
Very nice! Keep ‘em coming
