‘Always look behind you’ has been a lesson I continue to learn over and over again when out photographing. This particular evening I was focusing on capturing the setting sun over Blue Mountain in the Davis Mountains. As I waited for the sun to fall where I wanted, I decided to look to the east, well south east to be precise; and behold there is this magnificent storm cloud forming on the south side of Mitre Peak in the distance. More often then not, I come back with a different shot than I anticipate before going shooting.
This view of the iconic peak was shot from the Chihuahuan Desert Nature Center in Fort Davis, Texas. This image is currently on display at the visitor center as the background for their mission statement. Mitre Peak is also one of 6 images of mine that the Chihuahuan Desert Nature Center has available as postcards in their gift shop.
