Big Bend National Park photo calendar – Bigbendchat.com sponsors a member photo calendar every year about this time. It consists of 13 photos, voted on by the participants, compiled by the moderator, and sent off to the printer. This year, the Big Bend National Park photo calendar included one of my photos that is posted below. The photo was taken from an overlook on the west side of the Chisos Mountains in Big Bend National Park. The view is from a popular sunset viewing point called Sotol Vista, named after the high density of sotol plants on the surrounding hillsides. On this particular November morning the clouds were rising to create a view not often seen.
