A breathtaking panorama unfolds on a crisp winter day. My postcard from 02/02/23 captures the vista north from Gibson along Ortiz Drive. This snow-covered peak is in the Santa Fe National Forest, a breathtaking 40 miles away, and comes into view, seemingly within reach. During the summer, these majestic mountains fade into the distance, but the clarity of the winter air makes them visible.
