Amarillo: Faces, Places & Open Spaces

Opposite, top: Clouds above Amarillo regularly provide residents
with unique beauty not often seen in cites without the wide open
skies of the High Plains.
Opposite, bottom: Like garland, ribbons of barbed wire adorn
section after section of prairie across the Llano Estacado.
Below: Day’s end on the ranch; a West Texas sunset with a
windmill beneath, is a scene that has played out countless times
since the earliest settlers came to the area.
