Winter view of the Pecos River. Seen in the Santa Fe National Forest off of highway 63 following the Pecos River, New Mexico.
Val Verde County, Texas. Pour-off into the Pecos River after a big rain. About 1.5 miles upstream of the confluence with the Rio Grande.
Kodachrome 1990 (at least that is when it was processed)
Remnants of winter in the Pecos river valley.
Overall it was a mild but overcast day, so I concentrated on the smaller, more intimate details of the landscape.
Ruins of the church built in 1717 replacing the original church built in 1625 and destroyed in the Pueblo Revolt of 1680.
Not the 'Red River", but another river of red water there in New Mexico. This is the Pecos River as seen from Route 84.
I'm in Colorado today and chasing the plains most of this week hopefully! This will be my final trip out here this spring more than likely, unless some amazing setup happens in July. Crossing fingers for a few good supercells and great time-lapses to finish my upcoming film!
Meanwhile, here's a photo from extreme south Texas a few weeks ago, with the Pecos River in the foreground. It was dark when we crossed over this bridge and kind of spooky looking down into this deep canyon. I parked and raced to the lookout point in time to capture a few lightning photos, including this triple-strike with a 13 second exposure.
Pulled over just past the bridge crossing the Pecos River just before it enters the Rio Grande on US Highway 90 in Southwestern Texas. Less than a mile away from the US/Mexico border. T Mobile had my roaming on international coverage even though I was obviously still on the American side of the border. Saw lots of vultures flying around but too high for me and my lens to photograph in flight. I walked down to the cliffs next to the bridge supports and found a couple of dozen vultures roosting underneath. Took some pictures of them, some of the bridge and some of the Pecos River. It was a pretty steep climb down from the road, maybe 300 yards from where I had parked the truck, got my exercise for sure.

www.google.com/search?q=Pecos+River+Flume&ie=UTF-8&am... This flume that crosses over the top of the Pecos River on the outskirts of Carlsbad, New Mexico was designed to carry farm irrigation to the lands east. I hoped to explore it but ran out of daylight. What puzzled me is how the water got from the river 20 feet below into the flume. While I was not able to see it on the ground it appears on a map that the river is diverted upstream from a manmade lake into a canal system. The flume which subsequently passes high above the river downstream carries the water eastward.
Two images, merged.
The Pecos River originates in north-central New Mexico and flows into Texas, emptying into the Rio Grande. Its headwaters are on the eastern slope of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range in Mora County north of Pecos, NM, at an elevation of over 12,000 feet (3,700 m) feet. The river flows for 926 miles (1,490 km) before reaching the Rio Grande near Del Rio. Its drainage basin encompasses about 44,300 square miles (115,000 km2).
The name "Pecos" derives from the Keresan (Native American language) term for the Pecos Pueblo

An exercise in lightpainting. I found this log house ruin in the upper Pecos river valley and thought it might make a good subject to try out some lightpainting techniques. The original file consists of 8 different shots with the camera staying in exactly the same place but different parts of the "building" illuminated and then blended together with layers in PS. A fun technique.
The moon was 3/4 full, that's what illuminates the clouds and the background behind the ruin.

One shot for the sky and trees at 15 sec f2.5 ISO 640 because the moon was really bright.
f5.6 at ISO 800, 15 seconds for the foreground. Flashlight only on for 5 or 6 seconds.
