I have a love for the desert.

Some people may find these not particularly interesting, but I find them beautiful, especially the mountains.

These photos remind me of the Tucson, Arizona area. I'm really surprised that Arizona has all the retiree types and not El Paso.....

Nice photos Synopsis !!

These are wonderful, especially the mountains......while I am now in NM, I'm only 85 miles north of EP...dang, I love this country out here as well as EP.

I just wish EP wasn't so BIG.

But..it's what it is, LOL!!

Beautiful pictures, Levow. I don't like the look of that cloud in the second one, though!

Heh yeah thats a DUST Storm rolling in. That was taken from the LOWES parking lot on the east side of town.. on George Dieter.

There is one thing I love about El Paso, UTEP's Campus buildings. I love the style.

As for the Horse Statue at the Air Port, I think it should be torn down, melted down and recast as an AMIGO MAN, just as tall as the horse is now. This is the AMIGO MAN.. if you don't know why.. do a bit of research on who the horse rider is, and why I think that piece of garbage should never be cast in any form ever. Its like putting Hitlers or Saddam's Statue there.

Amigo Man is Back!

But yeah some great pictures.

That is "those are replicas of real live Alligators that use to be in the San Jancinto Plaza pond", when I was a kid I use to love to go downtown to watch these Alligators at the plaza I wish they bring them back.
