Oooh, I'd fogotten all about New Mexico. My favorites are the Organ mountains cause they look soooo cool. I didn't know about the Manzanos, but I'm a sucker for all permutations of manzana...

Here in New Mexico are the Sandias, which means watermelons in Spanish. Named for the reddish hue they take on in the sunset, and the darker trees sort of resemble black seeds from a distance. South of them are the smaller Manzanos, which means apple trees, referring to the orchards in the region.

Thanks, kisholi! I didn't realize Sri lanka had so many mountains, but I'm very glad to have made the acquaintance of the knuckles.
