Impressive landscape. I'd like to enjoy this view, too.

Great view...I would think the canyon would provide something of a "fence" itself!

That is an amazing shot of an amazing landscape.

Breathtaking landscape and image. Don't get me started on the fence, though. It's such lunacy. Incidentally, such a fence wouldn't prevent the terrorism or most of the 'illegal' immigration problem our brilliant Homeland Security hopes to prevent. The terrorists (who are they???) and most undocumented workers merely overstay their legal tourist visas. And if they're going to construct a fence between US and Mexico, to be fair and statistically smart, they'd have to build a fence between here and Canada, too. Did I say, don't get me started? I don't care if Homeland Security is listening. They can take my computer and pore through my hard drive. (*)^(*&^%*(&^%*&!!!

What a breathtaking view. It would really be a shame if a fence if they built a fence here.

What a great vista.

I remain always astonished the way you manage putting strong and immense relief, which is too me the most difficult in landscape photography to transmit a scene and place as in reality without giving a flat aspect. The man in the foreground underlines this impression.

Kevin, I just got back from Big Bend myself, and I have to say your images from there are fantastic. It's a great place to get away from everything.

A fence would look so incongruous over there. Like the framing here - the river bend, the green trees and the person standing there almost as if he owns the entire place :)

What a magnificent view! I like the perspective through the river bed.

I had no idea it was so beautiful.

beautiful colors, especially like the sky. great composition--i think the man standing there really adds to it and the sense of scale too. so that's what Mexico looks like--funny how it looks a lot like the US side... a fence would definitely ruin the view.

I listened to Lou Dobbs' today rant about how Texans are being obstructionists against homeland security by fighting against the fence. Dobbs needs view a few scenes like this before shooting off his mouth. Unfortunately, the only scenery he knows is the canyons of New York City. Lovely shot.
