Home - is where your heart is
Everyone has a stomping ground when they were a kid. This was mine. The desert of El Paso out by Hueco Tanks. My friends and I would drive 32 miles to get here, pay $5.00 and climb rocks, explore caves and basically enjoy nature all day.
The desert isn't for everyone. Some feel it to be sparse and dead. I personally find it beautiful. You can breath out here. There is space. The view of the sky (Cielo Vista) is amazing at times.
I took this shot when I went home for Christmas of 2008.

For the first 30+ years I am afraid my knowledge of the desert was limited. After experiencing it first hand now, it is beautiful like you said. The light falling on its forms and textures gives us many photographic choices; I like this one.
