Borderlands – A Topoglyphic Abstract
Along the borderlands between Texas and New Mexico, the jagged line of the escarpment’s face creates a natural borderline as we cross from the tamed grasslands of West Texas into the rambling grasslands of eastern New Mexico.

Aerial views–without the labels on maps–certainly give you a different perspective on the world! We also marvelled at these kinds of “borders” between wilderness and cultivated land when we flew across part of Canada in our Cessna 150. For example, in Alberta, where ranch lands and cultivated fields abut, with a salt lake in between: http://www.whphotoplus.ca/canada2003/flight2003-12swif13_salt.htm. And of course there are many other examples, as you well know from your travels. Yours is an interesting photo for sure!

Sometimes the most edifying part of the experience comes from studying the map and learning about the features that presented themselves to us from the air. Thanks for sharing your link. Will check it out.

I just looked at your linked photos; great shots. The image of the salt lake edged by farmlands is a great example.

Thanks for looking, and glad you enjoyed the images! Looking at the earth from their sky provides a wonderful perspective on many things, doesn’t it? 🙂
