Mountains of West Texas

I posted this one over in ESS but thought I'd put a copy here too in case anyone in the CSNP forum is ever looking for views out of west Texas.

This was taken from the Guadalupe Mountains looking west. Five mountain ranges and one set of hills are visible. I fully detailed them in ESS, but they go from front to back- Guadalupe Mountains (V notch foreground), Patterson Hills, Sierra Diablo, Black Mountains, distant Sierra Blanca on the left and the faint upper right ridge is the Franklin Mountains.

And yes this is the location I was chasing fall color at.

Darren,

Awesome color and what a fantastic location.

Thanks for posting.

I'll second that, awesome light color and a location that looks as beautiful as it probably is foreboding. Well composed and captured Darren.

Great composition and colors Darren. You captured the scene with very nice lighting. I can appreciate how you identified the mountains in the scene... I bet that wasn't easy.

I'm very impressed, Darren. West Texas and the Big Bend area are on my "to do" lists - someday - after a few more diapers, etc.!

Tim!

Good capture of a harsh land. The soft colors make the shot along with the foreground establishing the extended distance into the far mountains.

Darren: The landforms are terrific. I would make this a faux pano by cropping 65-75% of the sky. If there were interesting clouds I would keep it all but as is I don't think the sky warrants 30-35% of the frame. >=))>
