The Captain is one of neatest photographs in Texas. Jutting out like a wedge (or maybe the prow of a ship) from the Guadalupe Mountains it looms over the desert below.
When viewed from the top of Guadalupe Peak, it is like looking over the bow of a ship. Hence the name.
When viewed from east, west, or south it is visible from many miles away. It truly stands out. It also has no bad side. It looks good morning and evening.
This image is a morning view from the east side. When the light first strikes the rock it glows with a wonderful orange. I never tire of visiting this park and watching the sunrise and sunset on these cliffs.
