California trip landscape photos - November 2017
During the San Andreas Fault chase last month, didn't do any sightseeing other than of the fault itself. I passed within easy distances of landmarks like the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, downtown Los Angeles, Joshua Tree National Park and New Mexico's Zuni-Bandera volcanic field, but in the end, I just did not have time to make the diversions to go see them. However, there was some interesting scenery encountered along the routes I took, so I thought I would devote a blog post to them.

Albuquerque was one place I wish I had more time to explore on this trip. This is a panorama of the city and the Sandia mountains from the west of town:
