Another kind of border wall
The river, of course, is the international border between the United States and Mexico. The cliffs are in Mexico and those grasses are in the United States.

Cliffs across the border
In the foreground, the Rio Grande. And over there, past the water and those trees are cliffs. International cliffs, really, since they are in Mexico.

Years passed (eight of them) and I was once again in the Terlingua cemetery. I’d made my way all the way around, almost, when I saw something that was nearly unbelievable:

The Church Chairs
These may be my two favorite chairs, from a photographic standpoint. They were placed just like this at the back the church, as though they knew I’d be along and need a photo of them.
Well done, chairs.

My reader(s) who were around in 2013 may recall my earlier photograph from the church in the Terlingua ghost town. That image was one of the first ones I made where I thought maybe this photography gig might work out.
I hadn’t been back to the site since then and was eager to photograph the church again. Once inside, I decided nothing I could shoot of the whole space would be better than what I had already done, so I turned my eyes and my camera to the smaller things.
