A Graveled Road Leading off to Peaks of the Sierra del Carmen (Big Bend National Park)

            A wider angle view than the first one captured of this setting in Big Bend National Park near the border of Mexico. I went back and forth from this location trying to capture more of the far off peaks and graveled road but not lose that view through the tunnel up ahead. My thinking was for anyone seeing this image, they'd be drawn to feel the textured surface of the asphalt road with the center lines leading off into the distance through the tunnel. Next they'd want to stand up as if trying to see beyond the hillsides and ridgelines to the distinctive peaks of the Sierra del Carmen.
