DescriptionThis image depicts an aerial view of the Northeast heights in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This portion of the city extends up to the lower portions of the Sandia Mountain's foothills in the background. Various homes, businesses, roads, and large empty dirt lots can be seen. In center frame, a single paved road diverges into a fork. The two portions of that fork then run off the bottom of the photograph. In the top right corner, and extending into the top center of the photograph, a portion of the plane's wing is visible. A large portion of the Sandia Mountains can be seen above the foothills in the background.
