The Nolands

The world around us...

    

Chisos Mountains

Contrabando

Ocatilla and candelaria on the Old Ore Road in Big Bend National Park are highlighed by the Chisos Mountains in the background.

No longer functional because of flood waters and neglect, this old village sat next to the Rio Grande and was a photographer's dream.

The soul of the world... the exit of the river at Santa Elena Canyon

Shear 1500 foot high cliffs form a narrow canyon towering above the Rio Grande River before it suddenly bursts onto the open plain of Terlingua Creek and the Rio Bravo.

Because of political policies currently endorsed by the Mexican government, we have almost entirely curtailed our ventures into Mexico.  When that nation endevers to control their own borders and adopts a less hypocritical immigration stance, we may resume our travels there.  Until then, we will confine our adventures to countless unexplored areas of the United States.
