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 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!
