Avery __ __ The High Lonesome Ranch is located in San Saba County in the Texas Hill Country. This property is a working ranch of several thousand acres. I have been visiting this ranch since 1987. __ New Sub-Project: Trees on the High Lonesome Fall/Winter 2008 __ LANDSCAPES ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ WILDLIFE ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ FLORA ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ THE HUMAN TOUCH ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ THE NIGHT SKY ___ ___ ___ ___ __ __ The land and its resources within the ranch often show signs of heavy human and livestock use. Despite this, it has incredible natural beauty. I first started taking snapshots in 1999, but the real start to this photographic project was in July of 2004 after I took a deep interest in photography. My goal is to present the beauty that I see and not show the damage and signs of use by ranching. It isn't necessarily a bad thing. After all, a ranch is a ranch and the land will be worked. I do not expect it to have pristine, natural conditions, but there are some spots and elements that are still wild and quite beautiful. I've spent a long time exploring the ranch and its wild, undeveloped places. I'm not done with this photo project, and I plan to continue to shoot and document this land for many more years. __
