Mule Ears of Big Bend

One of my thoughts going out to Big Bend was catching sunrise over the Mule Ears. I didn’t really have a great plan for a vantage point though. There is an overlook at the Mule Ears trailhead, but I figured that the sun would rise too far south in the sky from this point. While… Read More Mule Ears of Big Bend

A Waterfall and Other Disappointing Hikes

On my recent trip to Big Bend I was hoping to get to some trails that I hadn’t been on before. One of the trails on my list was hiking on the Oak Springs trail which connects to a couple of potential waterfalls. I had visions of a glorious waterfall image in the late afternoon,… Read More A Waterfall and Other Disappointing Hikes

Moonlit Mountains

Often times a bright moon at night is unwanted by photographers that want to capture the night sky as the moonlight overwhelms most of the star light in the sky. But one evening years ago while camping at Guadalupe Mountains National Park during a full moon, I really enjoyed seeing the mountains lit only by… Read More Moonlit Mountains

Ghost Town

Terlingua Texas Ghost Town

If you want to get a decent breakfast when camping out in Big Bend, you can drive in to the town of Terlingua. There are a few restaurants in Terlingua, but not much open for breakfast. La Posada Milagro is open and has good TexMex breakfast food. The dining is all covered patio outside, which… Read More Ghost Town

The Balanced Rock

I have been planning another trip to Big Bend National Park as there are photographic ideas that I want to try and hiking trails that I haven’t been on yet. So last weekend my oldest daughter and I went and camped a couple of nights and I tried to get some of these things done.… Read More The Balanced Rock

Desert Sunrise

Desert Mountains in Morning Sunlight

There is something about watching the sun set and then getting up and watching it rise the next morning on the opposite horizon that is a bit surreal to me. Maybe it is the feeling of being so small in a giant mechanism and watching the large scale workings occur from my powerless position. Maybe… Read More Desert Sunrise

Mule Ears and Sunset

Sunset from Sotol Vista in Big Bend

On Saturday I did a little hiking on the Mule Ears trail in Big Bend National Park. I had never been on this trail before, but it seemed interesting. It is basically a hilly hike through the desert in the general vicinity of the Mule Ears, which is a jagged cliff that I suppose looks… Read More Mule Ears and Sunset

Big Bend: The Window (both sides)

Sunset at the Window in Big Bend National Park

In Big Bend National Park there is a feature called The Window, which is an opening in the mountains surrounding Chisos Basin. The Window is on the west side of the basin so it is an interesting place for a sunset. There is also a hiking trail that takes you down to The Window if… Read More Big Bend: The Window (both sides)

Big Bend – Desert Mountains

On the way back from Santa Elena canyon, I took the scenic route which is called Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive. I knew that there were a few overlooks along this road that would be good for some pictures. In the image below, the yellow highlighted route shows the more scenic highway through the park that… Read More Big Bend – Desert Mountains
