The first photo is of the Sandias 30 minutes after the sunset. I love how the highlights glow from the camera compensating for the low light.  The second photo is a hand-stitched panorama of the the rapids on the Rio Grande at the north end of Corrales. I hadn’t intended on making a panorama out of the two photos so the panorama program could deal with it. The two images were close enough for me to fudge the edges and splice them together.  The last photo is of Professor Pierre Cartier (IHES, France) lecturing on “Mathematics in the 21st Century” this afternoon at UNM. The write-up on him reads “Professor Cartier is one of the most influential mathematicians of the 20th century, a former member of the legendary mathematical group Bourbaki, and the originator of a number of ground breaking ideas in mathematics and theoretical physics.”  He was very entertaining and paced the floor as he spoke in general, stopping to face the audience to make his points, which made him even more interesting and endearing. I put several photos together to capture his wonderful lecture style.
