The beginning of the photographic journey that I mentioned yesterday started with a drive along many miles of unpaved roads in the very western edge of the Texas panhandle. I’d never been this way before and it was a stunningly beautiful drive. Right here, where I found this incredible arrow, the elevation was over 4,200 feet and autumn had already arrived; the air was cool and fresh and summer’s heat seemed almost like it had never happened.

This is a road I’d like to drive on many more times.
