Ortiz Mountain is seen towards the Northeast (the Santa Fe Mountains are in the background).

Autumn is characterized by bright sunny days and crisp nights.  As the days shorten, the ground and the air above it cool off, while the air at higher altitudes is still warm. Because normally the atmosphere is colder at higher elevations, this situation is called an inversion. They are very common during the fall and early winter months. Fall is a very stable condition; winds, if any, are light. This leads to perfect weather for ballooning or enjoying the autumn colors. Inversions also act like lids trapping pollutants near the ground, resulting in Albuquerque's "brown cloud".
