Saturday September 3, 2011 Ropesville, TX (Current Conditions)

A VERY welcome cold front rolled across West Texas this evening . Didn't care much for the dust but I'll take the cooler weather ! I'm pretty sure the entire state of Texas is with me on this one .

Amazing shot Tim. Dust storms are ugly things. I remember too many when I lived in Oklahoma. Once I had a white car and the red dirt of Oklahoma mixed with a very few drops of rain; my car looked like it had the Measles. Action: \| Ignore User Member Since: November 12, 2008 Comments: 2852

About docshovel39:

Hello , my name is Tim . I live in the small farming community of Ropesville , Texas with my wife and photo partner Sherry . I got involved with photography because of my older brother Steve - a fantastic photographer who lives outside of Seattle , WA . My favorite work , apart from his , is a terrific book entitled " Ghosts in the Wilderness " by Tony and Eva Worobiec . It captures the remains of small , abandoned rural communities across the Midwest , much of it shot in black and white . I also have become a fan of photographer Jim McGuire . His black and white shots ( nashvilleportraits.com) are amazing . Thank you for your comments and have a GREAT day !
