Mountains in Southwest Texas |

| Alpine
is in Brewster County, Texas, in the high desert part of the
state. They've had quite a bit of rain this year, so the mountains
look green. At left is Twin Peaks, also known as Twin
Sisters. I took it looking west from the heights of the mountain
on which Sul Ross
State University sits. After that I
drove west of town on Hwy 90 and took another picture of Twin Peaks.
Although it looks like there are even higher mountains in the
background, don't believe it! Somehow I managed to do a
double-exposure -- so surprise, it's "trick
photography"!
Alpine is the gateway to Big Bend National Park, by way of Hwy 118, the "Texas Mountain Highway." The Park website is at www.nps.gov/bibe/home.htm -- there are some excellent scenery links. David drove us through the huge park several years ago. We enjoyed the trip and, no kidding, the scenery is awesome! ~Marge Marshall |
