This is probably the southernmost Corral in the United States. Where the lush greenery ends, flows the Rio Grande, (originally Rio Bravo), and less than thirty feet across rises the northern border of Mexico. Not particularly accommodating terrain to attempt an illegal crossing. This location is South-west Texas, labelled Big Bend country due to the flow of the Rio Grande.

John Wayne would give this his seal of approval, Doug.
I like the inset look.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Nice idea with the inset Doug. The contrast with the background is eye-catching.

It sure is pretty scenery and your editing with the inset is creative. If the Duke were around, there'd be no more cowboys and indians flicks. Perhaps he'd be in the border patrol.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

Some varmit rustled yer horses while you was busy with the picture box. A great view and composition in the scene, Doug. Lovely colours and lighting in the photo and great post work on the presentation with the monochromatic framing.
