Old Ruins

The old adobe and stone ruins are in Big Bend National Park. It is a partially standing adobe house with a stone fireplace in the center.

The ruin sits on a hill overlooking the Rio and the Sierra del Ponce in Mexico. There are also views to the Chisos Mountains and Santa Elena Canyon. It must have been quite a place to live.

The walls of the ruin have some nicely framed windows and this door. The double frame of it really sturck me as a neat feature. I also greatly admire the stone fireplace that was once the centerpiece of this home.

I framed up the fireplace through the door with just a hint of the Ponce wall beyond.
