Seminole Canyon SP Campground — Comstock, Texas
Temps: Hi 67F (19C) / Lo 35F (2C)
After two great days of activities at Seminole Canyon State Park and Historic Site (post here), we went off today to explore what the area has to offer outside the park boundaries.
But first, I had something special I wanted to experience — sunrise at Maker of Peace, that wonderful sculpture that stands near the visitor center and overlooks Seminole Canyon. In describing the symbolism inherent in the sculpture, Ranger Tanya had mentioned that if we stood in the right place at the right time during sunrise we could capture the sun within the circle below the bird. It turned out to be a very serene — spiritual really — experience in the quiet solitude of the desert.
With a great deal of patience, I managed to get the shot I was looking for … and a few others to boot. I already posted my favorite in the teaser post for Seminole Canyon … here are two more.

Mui and I wait patiently for the sun to be captured by the circle under the bird.

So, on with our day outside the park.
