Sunset in West Texas

As an amateur photographer, I understand the phrase “a picture is worth a thousand words,” especially when it comes to sunrises and sunsets. I’m blessed to have experienced many over my years in the Texas.

While lots of folks I know like to sleep in, many of my photos show reasons why I choose to wake up early when I’m traveling or even at home. I’m sharing some of my favorites from the seven regions of Texas.

Big Bend Region

With the mountains of Texas as a background in the Big Bend Region, it’s tough to find a bad view. When the sun comes up or sets over the mountains of far west Texas and the clouds are just right, this region of the state is breathtaking.

Gulf Coast Region

The coast region has the benefit of the gulf as an additional backdrop, which can’t hurt when you’re looking for a spectacular place to watch the giant orb that is the sun make its appearance or exit.

Hill Country Region

Sunrises and sunsets in the Hill Country are absolutely worth your time to see, whether in a small town or in an urban city, the beauty of the day can be fantastic.

Panhandle Plains Region

Big skies are one of my favorite things about the Panhandle Plains. You’ll enjoy the full, unobstructed view and you won’t be sorry.

Piney Woods Region

Though the Piney Woods Region in east Texas is known for its large pine forests, you can still find places to see the beautiful skies of Texas.

Prairies and Lakes Region

From large metro cities and small towns to lakes and prairies, Texas skies in north Texas offer color and fascinating light morning, noon, and night.

South Texas Plains Region

Tropical trees replace pines, oaks, and prairies in this southern region of Texas.

Whether it’s early morning or late evening, wherever you are when visiting the Lone Star State, make sure to take the time to walk outside and catch the rays, whether coming or going. It’ll be worth it.
