Description
The Texas night sky is truly "Big & Bright." This view of the Milky Way was captured in Caprock Canyons State Park and Trailway on a beautiful October evening. The brilliant Milky Way in the West Texas night sky rises in dynamic contrast the to park's bison monument.
Located in the Panhandle of Texas, Caprock Cayons is the Lone Star State's 3rd largest park. The Texas State Bison Heard--genetic descendants of the famed Charles Goodnight herd--roams the park's plains. The Clarity Tunnel, along the abandoned Fort Worth & Denver Railroad line, provides habitat for a healthy bat colony. The decommissioned rail line offers hikers, bikers, and equestrians a 64.25 mile trailway between Estelline (TX) and South Plains (TX).

I married a Texan and fell in love under one of those Texan night skies. Your piece is just extraordinary.

I have seen this image several times as a feature or discussion, Stephen. It is an awesome bison landscape with unique ground level. The sky, stars and MIlky Way is so wonderful !! Most folks rarely have the chance to view this and it is displayed in your painting so clearly and beautifully. L/f
