Going through my recent rural land photography archives while out in remote places in New Mexico, I was reminded of being brushed by a strong thunderstorm. It does not rain often in the winter in the greater Albuquerque area of New Mexico, much less a thunderstorm. Thus, my surprise at having to stay close to my Jeep Renegade Trailhawk in case a deluge broke from the sky or lightning started striking the ground.

This area off of Northern Blvd was a little more to the southeast than I had been to before. It was sandier with less brush covering everything. It's rare to see sandy desert in this area of New Mexico. It caught my eye to make a photograph featuring the sand itself, as seen above.

The last time I had hardly any open space to make photos with a view from. This time there was a good swatch of open land that allowed me to make landscape and sunset shots to help the client sell this rural land property fast! How fast? Well, read the Google review about how much my photographs and drone video help sell his New Mexico rural land properties.

Over 14 months later I finally had the opportunity to hike to the summit, my first summit since having ACL knee surgery 3 years ago. Hiking to the almost 3000 meter summit was a physical and mental test, not just for me, but also for Jessica who came with me and our dogs Kiki and Artie.

You have seen my bird's eye view drone photos of this park, now you can see the view from my DJI Mavic Pro drone!
Read MoreIt took far too long to visit Petroglyphs in Albuquerque New Mexico. Many times on my way to photographing rural land properties in Rio Rancho had I past it. Finally, a brief visit was possible just to Black Volcano. A short 4K drone video of Black Volcano is featured above.
Read MoreFor the past three weeks, I spent most evenings at sunset time out in Torrance County New Mexico. It is approximately 45 miles east of Albuquerque, near the town of Moriarty. I would arrive each evening an hour before sunset to make photographs of rural land properties for Hemingway Land Company. These are some of the sunsets I saw each evening out there.
