Mount Sandia will rise majestically. Its silhouette reminds me of a picturesque landscape painted on an expansive canvas. The view from which it is observed influences its allure. For instance, on Easter Sunday, I was fortunate enough to witness the sunrise, with her golden rays piercing the horizon, casting a divine light that bathed the mountain in a breathtaking glow. I had taken several gasps to behold this beauty. A fresh blanket of snow adorned its rugged peaks just a few weeks prior, transforming the landscape into a pristine wonderland. However, during my walk yesterday, I encountered a more subdued version of the mountain; its once-vibrant colors faded into a dusty appearance as if nature was reminding me of the ever-changing beauty it holds. Now, that’s beautiful New Mexico.
As the day dims and the sun begins its descent, Sandia Mountain stands like a loyal companion, accompanying me on my evening wanderings through Albuquerque. Whether I’m leisurely walking or cruising along the bustling streets, the mountain’s grandeur reveals itself at every turn, as if it’s keenly aware of my journey. Its peaks, often dusted with a delicate layer of snow, loom majestically against the horizon, a breathtaking sight that demands attention. The mountains’ sheer scale and rugged beauty evoke a sense of awe that transcends mere description. I find myself contemplating crafting a poem—a heartfelt tribute to the mountain that has won my admiration. I believe that God created a masterpiece and blessed New Mexico with it!
I plan to visit the nearest zoo next month and share my experiences afterward. Good night, everyone!
