Description“University of New Mexico “U” at foot of Sandia Mts. – Albuquerque, New Mexico” A pyramid-shaped hill is adorned with a large letter “U” painted in a light color, east of Albuquerque, New Mexico. The hill backs up to a mountain, the higher parts of which appear to have some snow on them. No roads are visible. A cholla cactus has caught some trash, and a shiny can is nearby. Yucca, tumbleweeds and other wild vegetation are seen.
