Terlingua Sunset
Hot Springs Ruin
Hot Springs Ruin 2
Moon Light Bright
I decided to try some moon light shots in the grave yard, and since I had no idea what exposure to use I tried this one first. Wow, looks like daylight, but this is taken at 10:30pm under a half full moon. I could see, but I had to have a flashlight to walk around without tripping! Love the Nikon D850 and the Rokinon 14mm SP lens.
Terlingua Graves
There's a feeling of solitude and solace at sunset in this place of many graves that mark an era long past. It's quiet and reflective, and although there were many people walking around me as I photographed, they were silent and respectful of the history that brought most of these souls to their final resting place.
Star Light, Star Bright....... Another beautiful Big Bend night!
Crow Town movie set
This is all that's left for the movie set as of March 29, 2017. During our first visit here ten years ago we saw several structures and some posters on the walls of the remaining buildings, all gone now. I think the movie Streets of Laredo, starring James Garner was the film this set was originally built for, but could have seen more action after that.
Another look at Santa Elena Canyon at the end of the trail. A remarkable place that makes you feel very small.....
Burro Mesa Pour Off, dry waterfall. I'm only estimating the height of the dry falls at 200 ft.
Neat ruin just off the Ross Maxwell Drive, near Santa Elena Canyon.
The only remaining structure from the Crow Town movie set.
View from the back of the movie set, called Crow Town, along River Road. The movie filmed here was Streets of Laredo, starring James Garner.

More of the ash pile in the volcanic area.....
Castalon Peak with the desert view in the foreground.
Volcanic ash piles have weathered into beautiful subjects for early morning images.....
Volcanic area along Ross Maxwell drive.
Wide view of Ernst Tinija. It's huge!
Santa Elena Canyon at the end of the trail. What a view!
Near the entrance of Closed Canyon.
Closed Canyon is part of the Big Bend State Park System, and is an enjoyable hike that leads thru interesting rock formations, and also has a few ups and downs.... Wear good hiking shoes and take plenty of water.
The view from this adobe ruin in the Terlingua Ghost Town is one that may not be seen much longer. Unfortunately, vandals destroyed several of similar structures a few weeks ago, and there isn't a good way to secure the area. It's ashamed that these historical buildings were attacked by thoughtless individuals that should be jailed if caught!
This historic church on the hill in Terlingua, Tx., is usually locked, but this morning we found the doors open and couldn't resist photographing the interesting interior.
The Terlingua Ghost town Cemetery makes a great subject for images in the pre-sunrise hours.
Ernst Tinaja is full of surprises, and this cave near the water is a neat experience.
