Nature's Jaw Dropping Images

Marc Christensen • Nov 08, 2021

"The peak’s grandeur just takes my breath away and humbles me as I stand before our maker’s creation."

Here are three of my most favorite recent pics. Hope you enjoy them. The first is El Capitan in the Guadalupe Mountains National Park, which is on the border of Texas and New Mexico, near Carlsbad, NM. The peak’s grandeur just takes my breath away and humbles me as I stand before our maker’s creation.

The second just beckons a person to drive this road and soak in the beauty. There’s some nearly jaw dropping around every corner.

The final image is of a ranch along the Sunspot byway near Cloudcroft, NM. The aspen are turning and, boy, would I were some years younger and could put a good Quarterhorse between my legs and ride all day.

Curator's Note:

We have been featuring photos of the Southwest taken by Marc Christensen. I think they are simply magnificent, and truly meet the criteria of "profound" photos, touching the deepest parts of us as we see, through Marc's lens and short descriptions, the awesome wonder of creation.

Marc, who has contributed many beautiful photos to Profound Living, taken around the world, has recently moved to El Paso, Texas. Now we will be able to observe the splendor of this part of our country through his eyes and lens.
