The view for my 05/22/26 postcard looks west along a bike trail in Albuquerque, where the path bends beside a dry concrete flood channel, framed by utility poles, fences, and the distant shape of one of the volcanoes. The bike trails make getting across town quicker since you do not have to deal with traffic as much, but they trade speed for scenery. Much of the route feels practical rather than beautiful, a way through rather than a place to stop.
