I didn't pack a tripod in my bag before flying out, and I didn't stop anywhere to buy one. This is a hand-held shot with a standard lens, but I was able to get a decent view of the towers on top of Sandia Crest overlooking Albuquerque and Santa Fe. I'm sure with a tripod and the proper lens I would have been able to get a great photo.

Because of the mountains, most Santa Fe or Albuquerque radio and television stations aren't able to get a signal into both cities. By locating their towers on top of Sandia Crest, they can have a signal that can be seen or heard not only in both cities, but for a hundred miles each direction with a quality receiver.
