The Wide Open

The wide open country of west Texas as seen out beyond the Guadalupe Mountains.

The images tell all the story here.

The first is salt flats looking toward the distant Sierra Diablo. Windy, rainy, and moving clouds. My kind of photography weather.

The second only a short ways away from the salt flats an almost different world of high desert grasslands with the Horned Mountains that straddle the Texas-New Mexico state line.

Both are examples of that lonely wide open country that I like so much.
