Hoodoos
Wonderful rock formations can be found all over Big Bend. The hoodoos, or "fairy chimneys" are some of my personal favorites. These were found off Texas Highway 170.

Life and Death in the Desert
Walking the trails of Big Bend National Park, I am struck not only by the beauty of what can manage to live in such harsh conditions, but also the beauty of death. I love the fantastic glimpse that the desert provides.

Crack of Dawn in the Hoodoos
Getting up at 3:30 A.M. gave us the advantage of being present at the first light of day to see this. The rocks were lighted by a nearly full moon to the west.
