I like the cemetery shots, especially 1 & 3. For the window shots it's either 3 or 4, not sure which I like more. Nice set though, looks like you had some pretty good weather.

Thanks, everyone. Jeff, the weather was absolutely gorgeous until late Saturday evening (when I tool the Window photos) when the front came thru. We left at 4:00 AM on Sunday to get back to Austin and have some time to unwind before it got dark (decent 7 hour drive).

Came up with a few more photos of the cemetery at Terlingua at sunset, too. For the most part on this trip, the sunrises were rather boring, unfortunately.

I love the ones of the cemetary where the top of the sky turns purple. What, if any technique or filter, did you use to acheive this effect?

Great shots!!!
