Volcanoes

From the upstairs bedrooms of our house, looking to the west, there are seven extinct volcanoes. Someone told us they are called the Seven Sisters. More accurately, these are ancient lava spouts. Long ago before man, molten lava oozed from the earth’s hot core in this area and many others around Albuquerque.

I had been very curious about these bumps on the western landscape. One afternoon we decided to check them out.

I can assure you (and take great comfort myself in knowing) that these spouts have not seen any volcanic activity in recent centuries. They are quite asleep, if not just plain dead. RIP, please!
