The Beauty of West Texas

I just got back from spending some time in west Texas.  I was there for much of March.  We visited Big Bend National Park, Guadalupe Mountains National Park, and the towns of Alpine, Fort Davis, Marathon, and Terlingua.

I wrote about our stay in Big Bend in this post – Big Bend National Park.  I also did a post about Marathon here – West of the Pecos – Marathon, Texas.  I just got home and I’m editing together some videos I shot and organizing my photos.  I thought I’d share some more photos and videos of west Texas in this post.

Here’s a dashcam video of driving on I-10 from Fredericksburg to Fort Stockton and then down Route 385 to Marathon.  It a short composition of several segments that show a little of what it’s like there.  So different from the East Coast where I live.

Here’s another one of driving in Big Bend.

Its really a spectacular place.  Its part of the Chihuahuan Desert.  Its big sky where you can see for 15-20 miles in the distance.  Its a place where you can drive for 60 miles and not see a house or a telephone pole.  Its a place where time has stood still in many areas.   Here are some more pictures.
