Under Casa Grande and a blanket of stars in the Chisos Basin at Big Bend National Park.
Happy Birthday Ansel Adams! Paying tribute to his legacy with my own attempt at mimicing his work. I usually try to keep my photo posts to one a day, but when I had this idea and then I saw it was his birthday today, I just had to post another photo. I've posted the color version of this shot before, but I'm thinking I may like the black and white version even more. How I do like the Chisos Basin in Big Bend! I feel it calling to me when I look at this shot. How about you?
Anyone who has ever hiked to the top of the Lost Mine Trail in Big Bend National Park knows it is a long way to the top. I visited with this lady and her husband, whose leg you can see behind her, as we were all hiking our way to the top. I thought this shot provided a good perspective of just how high we had hiked. You can see the road into the Chisos Basin on the left in the middle of the shot, basically where our hike began. Off in the distance is the Window and the desert beyond.
