This is a region that time seemed to have forgotten. On a large ranch on the Texas/New Mexido border these badlands exude a feeling of time long past. Even as I stood in place waiting for the light to become perfect for the shot, I could feel the vibes of an ancient time. It was a special day. Hasselblad 501 CM with a Zeiss Sonnar 150mm lens.
