The jagged edges of the Sandia Mountains combined with frequent clouds over the mountains provide an ideal setting for their development. However, I rarely show images of anything taken from my front yard. That view will always contain driveways and vehicles. But, every now and then, I find something especially interesting or beautiful from that view point. Sometimes something can override the driveways and cars. For that reason, every now and then I will show an image taken in the front yard. On a recent weekend, the color of early sunrise was already gone. But I found this a remarkable display of these rays. I hope you enjoy the image, looking up the street, driveways and all.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4543\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4543\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/susanbgraham.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Graham_-Susan_-Brandt_2018_08_11_9999_24.jpg\" alt=\"crepuscular rays\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4543\" srcset=\"http:\/\/susanbgraham.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Graham_-Susan_-Brandt_2018_08_11_9999_24.jpg 600w, http:\/\/susanbgraham.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Graham_-Susan_-Brandt_2018_08_11_9999_24-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/susanbgraham.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Graham_-Susan_-Brandt_2018_08_11_9999_24-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4543\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Crepuscular Rays as the Sun Rises in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
