Stunning photographs of West Texas


 These photographs are incredible.

Wyman Meinzer is the photographer. He once lived in the old jail in Benjamin, TX . The photo of the coiled rattlesnake appeared on the cover of a wildlife magazine in the 80's. He said there were times he crawled a long way on his belly to get a good shot of a wild animal. 

The music is a perfect accompaniment.  It is by Doug Smith, who is from Petersburg, TX. Doug plays by ear - he cannot read music, but he has many CDs you may want to buy.  A pickup accident left him paralyzed, but he has learned to play again. 

Most of the pictures were taken in the rolling plains (Caprock to Seymour), the Fork, 6666, and Waggoner Ranches. There are some scenes in Palo Duro Canyon.
