This week's theme is "light(s)."
I have the most amazing view out my back windows. Truly there isn't a bad time of day to look in that direction. In the morning I get the sun rising over the Sandia Mountains; in the evening, the setting sun turns the mountains pink and reflects off the windows of the city with diamond-like sparkles. And at night, the lights of the city twinkle like thousands of colorful jewels. They twinkle and shimmer and almost seems to dance a little in place - it's mesmerizing.
Here are two shots I've taken of the lights. I wish my camera did them justice. But these will have to do.
I like the way the lightning makes a sillouette of the mountains.

Great photo!! :) I absolutely love lightning. I try to get photos but it never works. Here we don't get the really cool lightning.
Mine is up :)
Great shot! You captured the lightning beautifully, but I also love how the city lights contrast with what seems like a black and white. Cheers!
WOW! That looks like it was a great storm!
Thanks for visiting and the lovely comments.

I love lightning shots too - and always love night shots with twinkling lights :) Great choices :D
The pictures are beautiful ! I like night pictures !
Gorgeous, both of them!!
Mine's posted for this week -the subject "lights". Drop by, won't you?
Have a great Saturday Ann.
How beautiful! It must be so inspiring to see the view every day and how it changes with the time and weather.
Beautifully captured.
My photo is up too.
Great shots and you are lucky to have such wonderful views!
Thanks for stopping by!
Very cool pictures. I love what the light behind the mountains did.
That is a lovely view out your window! And the lightning storms on the mountain must be something in "real life".
Such interesting photos. The top one almost looks black and white until you see the lights at the bottom.
I love lightning as well. I'm usually out near the car, snapping away and just hoping that one or two out of the bunch will have that glorious streak of power show up. Would that our reaction time was as fast as the lightning.... if so, we would never have to buy replacement china! ;)
I can never get enough sunrises or sunsets or city skylines.
Thanks for stopping by.
Beautiful contrast in the two pictures!
Thanks for stopping by this morning!

You do have gorgeous views! Great shots!
Cool. I love the lightening picture. My dh and I were staying in a cabin on top of a mtn. when a lightening storm came. I have some pictures of lightening bolts. We were in the middle of the lightening. It was scary, and awesome all at the same time.
BTW, where do u live? I live in the Smoky Mtns. We have views similar to that.
Mine is up, too. Stop by if you get a chance. Have a great weekend.
Great photos! They are both very cool. :)
Thanks for stopping by and have a good weekend. :)
beautiful lights, I bet the view was wonderful in person! thanks for visiting...
Wonderful pics. I love storms, and Christmas lights.
Perfect. I get the feeling this week is going to be outstanding. I can not imagine what this must look like in person. Thanks for visiting mine.
Beautiful.
you're lucky to have such a great view to see everyday, must be nice especially around this time of the year
Great pictures! The first one is really striking (no pun intended). Wonderful choices for light(s).
Those are really beautiful, especially the one with the mountains in silhouette.
How gorgeous is that! What a breathtakingly beautiful view! It's funny, you know you see all these homes built way up high and you tell yourself, "wow, these people must have incredible views" but up until now this is my first confirmation! You are so blessed...what an inspiration!
Especially for those like myself that live in the flattest state in America, Florida! lol
Great pix!
Mine's up too :)
Those are awesome pictures. I wish I had a view like that. Thank you for sharing and thank you for stopping by :)
