There is a rock feature in Big Bend NP named the Taj Mahal. Use your imagination and you can see it. My understanding is that this feature has partially collapsed in recent years so I am glad to have spent some time at it back in 2015. Here are a few images of it as I continue to share my...
I am partial to the 1st as well. Next trip I am going to try and get a better image of it. I was surprised to see it from River Rd from where this capture is. I missed it and had to back the truck up.
To continue my journey with BBNP, I will post images that span different trips and different mediums (film and digital) of a feature known as Mule Ears. As a history side note, when the border was much more fluid than today, the military used to fly planes in the area (think bi-planes, early...
Thank you! Yes, I would like to get down into those badlands in #3 with some off trail hiking to see what photo opps I could get.
Thanks Jim. #1 caught my fancy as I was, how should we say, letting go of some water so upon the return to the truck, I grabbed my camera and headed back.
Yes...
Even just a little rain or snow is all it takes for the desert to come alive. This posting is from my 3rd trip to Big Bend National Park. We were way out on the dirt roads enjoying the scenery and natural beauty all around us. Though lighting is during the day and not the ideal golden hours...
Thank you :) It is a neat place.
I can't decide between 1 and 2 myself. As for 3, if I can locate my raw files for this, I may go back and rework. I lost a bunch of my archives. Thankfully, I have the full rez jpeg's on my website. On a positive note, I located and repaired an old drive...
Skipping ahead to my 3rd visit to BBNP along with my wife. On this day, we hiked into Dog Canyon What an interesting little canyon! The wind became so strong as it funnelled through here that you could literally lean back and have the wind hold you up. Processed these at the time as B&W and...
Here are 2 images captured within close proximity of each other just a few moments apart. It shows just how much the lighting can change out in the desert. I am staying with some of my oldest images of the park and will progress through subsequent trips. Note: this is how I processed the...
Winter temps are generally nice. At or just below freezing at night, 50's during the day. Perfect!
Thank you! Yes, the mtns add a lot to the park. Always in the backdrop if not up in them. Stay tuned for much more!
This is a pano from the first trip for my wife (my 2nd) to Big Bend National Park. Surprisingly, the high desert gets a bit of snow. In fact, we were snowed out from staying in BBNP one year as our reservations were the Chisos Mtn Lodge and the road was closed due to snow. However, it is not...
Nov-March is best time, just avoid holidays and Fall/Winter college break schedules to have even more added seclusion. Take your 4x4 as there are fantastic 4 wheel drive only roads to really get you back into wilds. The River Rd is 70 miles of remote 2 track along the Rio Grande. You may pass...
