[QUOTE="Mike6158, post: 2794688, member: 1039"] I like to do a little photography from time to time. I've been to Big Bend NP / Terlingua more times than I can count. Here's a few: Terlingua Ghost Town Cemetery. They still plant folks there. [IMG]https://wildlightimagingstudio.com/img/s/v-10/p2059150300-4.jpg[/IMG] Cattail Falls. This required an unscheduled quick trip to the park. It doesn't "fall" this good very often. I hauled a 4x5 film camera in there and shot it on black and white film too.
