Big Bend and Beyond

Well people,

Was far away from civilization and the blog last weekend. Made the Big Bend road trip. South of Texas. Bordering on Mexico. Dry desert county. Three days out in the wild. No radio. No TV. No cell phone. No internet. Trekking. Hiking. More trekking. Blisters. Bruises. Sunsets. Gorges. Canyons. Rock formations. Stunts. Near-death-experiences. Enlightenment. Wild-flowers. Vistas. Shock. Awe. Alcohol. Numbness. Nirvana. Inspiration.

Orgasmic. Ya, I know. Alrite, let's not get carried away. Awesome experience. Period.

Fotography happened. Sad part is that I damaged the D50. Sigh. :-( Yes, I wept. All pics taken with the PowerShot. Working on the D50. Hope I don't damage my wallet in the process.













































There will be a state of suspension of activity on this blog till the D50 issue is resolved. Please bear with me.

Sounds like an awesome experience! I would love to do something like that. :)

Marooned, thx for the reassurance. I liked the 385 marker pic too. The others are more 'touristy' - if you will. The rear view mirror thing was intentionally left there. Wanted to provide a 'frame of context', which in this case was the car window.

The last picture is pretty good man, you took it from the running car right? looks as a still picture. this kind of photograph is possible if you can keep your hand steady, which is very difficult from a running car.
good..
