NOTICE: THIS IMAGE IS COPYRIGHTED AND NOT TO BE POSTED ON ANY OTHER WEBSITE. This is the first of a series of images I took on a recent 1800 mile trip out to West Texas and back. I went to Ft Davis just south of I-10 at about the 209mm. When I lived in Lubbock, TX I was a member of a motorcycle club that went camping in the Davis Mountains every year. I wanted to go back and see this beautiful scenery again. There is a 75 mile loop thru the mountains called the Davis Mountain Loop. This is a photo from that loop. Then on the way back I stopped in Junction, Kerrville and Spring Branch, TX to photograph the South Llano and Guadalupe Rivers. Hopefully, you'll see some pretty good photos of these areas. All pictures on this entire trip was taken with the Canon 5D Mark 2 and the Canon 24-70 f/2.8 lens. A lens with a 24-70 range give or take is just about a "do all" lens if your in the market for a general use landscape lens.

Great depth, Pat, in the land, in the highway, and in the sky. I think we can see the whole 75 area you mentioned in this photo.

The road really leads you into a beautiful scene Owd Momma. It sounds like it led you to some beautiful memories as well. Thanks for sharing both.

A great looking scene Pat. I like that sky, the colorful grass and the hills in the distance. Good DOF too. 1800 miles! That was quite a trip!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
