SkyWatch Friday, Looking at the Sky on Friday / Sandia Peak at Sunset, Albuquerque, New Mexico USA

 Click on photos to enlarge!
My husband and I took the aerial tram up to Sandia Peak which is the ski area above Albuquerque, New Mexico.  It was the night before the opening of the Balloon Fiesta so there were many people enjoying the view down below.

About 5 minutes later...

Another 5 minutes or so later...

...and then, Albuquerque becomes a sea of lights.  Lightning was creating quite a show in the western sky.  
It was a bit nerve wracking seeing the brilliant flashes as we descended from the 10,300+ foot peak well after dark.
