There is something about a west Texas sunset. If you have ever experienced the vastness of west Texas at sunset, it is breathtaking.

I-20 West between Abilene & Big Spring Texas

Took this when we were driving between Big Spring and Abilene, Texas on I-20. I had to pull over to get this. Actually, I took it from an overpass. It wasn’t like the side roads were busy. One nickname for west Texas is The Big Country. Everything seems so big out there with the wide open spaces and big sky.
