Be sure to turn on your speakers and go full screen.

Wyman, the photographer, used to live in the old jail in Benjamin, TX. The photo of the coiled rattlesnake appeared on the cover of a wildlife magazine in the 80s. He said, there were times he crawled a long way on his belly to get a good shot of a wild animal. The music was nice also, didn't make me want to put it on mute!!!

The music is by Doug Smith. Doug is from Petersburg, Texas and lives south of town. Doug played by ear. He can not read music, but has many CDs. A pickup accident left Doug paralyzed and he does not play any more. Most of the pictures were taken in the rolling plains (cap rock to Seymour, the Fork, 6666, and Waggoner Ranches). There are some scenes in Palo Duro Canyon .

Please take a moment and view. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen such fantastic use of music set to amazing animal and landscape photography. The changes in the tempo perfectly compliment the scenery. It is simply a beautiful portrayal of Texas.

His photos are amazing. Small world....my dad and his side of the family were from Benjamin and Truscott area, and my cousins know him. I hope to get my wife to one of his workshops.

That was actually... moving.

Thanks.

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

That is neat.

My son's whole unit was transferred to a new command and PCS'd to Ft. Bliss following their last Afghanistan deployment, and it has not been the happiest of moves on many levels, but duty is duty. Anyway, I still haven't convinced him to get out of El Paso once in a while and go SEE - as opposed to just looking at - a part of the country that looks like it is, in turn and in season, just as beautiful or stark, and as hostile or nurturing as where he grew up.
