A Waltz across West Texas

Subj: A Waltz Across West Texas
A Waltz across West Texas
Wyman, the photographer, used to live 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 by Doug Smith. Doug is from Petersburg, Texas and lives south of town. Doug plays by ear- he cannot read music, but has many CDs. A pickup accident left Doug paralyzed and he does not play anymore. Most of the pictures were taken in the rolling plains (cap rock to Seymour, the Fork, 6666, and Waggoner Ranches. There are some scenes in Palo Duro Canyon.
Please take a few moment and view...I don't know if I've ever come across such a skillful combination of music and amazing animal and landscape photography. The changes in the tempo - perfectly - compliment the scenery. It is simply a beautiful portrayal of our magnificent home state!
