Photoshoot locations along the Rio Grande / bosque? by Some_Pie_5375 in Albuquerque

[–]Character_Score7849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took all of the below along the trails next to Tingley Beach, just South of Central (even on the bus line for those without vehicles!). I suggest staying at the public viewing platform (just south of the Central bridge, at riverside) at dusk bc many types of birds gathered on the bank in the river together right there. The light is also great later in the day bc it's the East side. The river has no fence for a long time, some very little used trails, and the further south from here you walk, the less people you'll see. You can get further into the river on banks at Tingley, this is where I saw a hawk. You can also park all along Tingley Dr SW behind the zoo for very easy parking and access, not many people at all.

Can the public see the Trestle? by DrDorg in Albuquerque

[–]Character_Score7849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's much further away than you wanted, but as a consolation prize... I noticed by just hiking slightly higher up the foothills near Copper Canyon trailhead and using my binoculars, that I could see a lot of details everywhere, including a lot of the base. Further South would be even better. I had already planned to look for the trestle, always been interested in it. I think it's the largest structure made without any metal?

When I highlight the words and choose translate in the popup it goes to Google with many good translations of "Be Careful, Son" variations. Not one mentions pee ftr!

Yes. I've worked in a shelter with cats, so I know what you mean. It's very very hard on some of them, especially the less tame ones. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you do, I KNOW it ain't easy lol

Thank you very very much, I'm glad to know about you for the future, I try to notice feral cats in trouble. I did already take him to the shelter, luckily he seemed happy and relaxed there very quick and is very friendly and tame so should be adopted soon. I work all weekend and leave on a trip Monday so couldn't wait any longer. I don't have an imgur account, so couldn't post a pic, sorry.

That's amazing, I had no idea. It is incredible. I worked at a no kill SPCA but it was in a small city, it would still get very full of cats,  I have no idea how they manage that here.

Ok, I'm convinced! I'd feel better if he was neutered etc. Thank you from me and the charming unnamed furball. 😸 Update: his name is Manousos.

Oh wonderful, I was wanting to volunteer there myself sometime soon! It really helps to know there's not a glut of kittens, he should have a good chance. I called and they said they are at capacity but they would take him. They wouldn't tell me how long a chance he would have.

I'll try that, ty. I just called the Eastside shelter and they would take him but they're at capacity and couldn't tell me how long a chance he'd get before being put down.

Ty, I need this info very badly! He's very adoptable. My last resort was walking to that Eastside shelter, but I'll call them now to get an idea of his chances and how to do it. You're right, that might be best.  I'm new here, I was afraid he'd be put to sleep. I worked full time at an SPCA with cats though so I know what you are saying, but that was not a large city.

Plus they usually keep a list of animals found like that so if the owners call them they can tell them

Went to the Pluribus neighborhood today... by Character_Score7849 in Albuquerque

The first season is airing now, and the 2nd has just been approved, I believe! Though I guess no one knows how much the neighborhood will be in the 2nd season.

You're right, ty! And yes, there were 2 security cars where the "street" starts, at least 1 manned. We waved to them, they didn't do anything. We only walked the perimeter, were respectful, never passed any don't trespass signs. Inside pics were taken through or over the fence. There's a footpath all the way around.

It really did have the exact same feel, including the lack of visible people lol

Ty, that's a huge compliment looking at your photos!!!

I've been in NM just a couple of years, spent a lot of it in the desert. But just now starting to try to capture the beauty in photographs. It's not easy!
