Vietnam Veteran's Memorial

I never knew that there was a Permian Basin Vietnam Veteran's Memorial. This is located next to the Midland / Odessa airport.

Sunrise in Midland Texas

I went to Midland last week for a few days to help work on a project. As I was heading into work, I saw this spectacular sunrise and decided to stop to see if I could capture it.

Clouds

Lately, I've been taking a lot of cloud photos. We've been getting a lot of rain and because of that, some very interesting cloud formations have been appearing over our skies. This one shows some clouds with a bird flying through the shot.

Transmountain road Sunset

This is one of my personal favorite shots. I took this while watching the sun go down from Transmountain road. Transmountain has quickly become one of my favorite shooting sites.

Once in a .......

Here's another one of my more popular photos. No surprise that it is a moon shot.

Here are a couple of shots from my Sunday drive. They both were taken on the Rio Grande close to Canutillo TX. I really like taking photos in and around this area. I also like seeing the Rio Grande full of water. I'm not sure why but it makes me feel good knowing that some of this water is making it past the Franklin Canal.

Mount Cristo Rey

This was taken at the top of Mount Cristo Rey. I can remember making the pilgrimage to the top of this mountain several times during the annual ascents in October of each year. I would see people climbing up on their knees keeping promises for wishes granted or asking for prayers to be answered. This mountain was also a welcomed site every time I came back to visit my family in El Paso during the times that I lived in San Diego, Midland, or San Antonio.
This area was once completely under water and it takes about a minute to find shell fossils near the base of this mountain. Once you reach the top of this mountain, you can see 3 states ( Texas, New Mexico and Chihuahua) and 2 countries (United States and Mexico).
