Texas Hill Country Depicted like never before by Larry White

As you head west out of Austin, you enter into the heart of the Texas Hill Country as beautifully depicted in this collection of photos by Larry White Photography. A treasure-trove of rivers that wind through forests of bald cypress trees, shimmering lakes guarded by limestone canyons, and rustic German towns with such names as Fredericksburg, New Braunfels, Boerne, and Kerrville.

Meandering through tunnels of hauntingly majestic bald cypress trees, the Medina and Guadalupe River are a blissful escape from the busy city streets of the seven major towns that surround the Texas Hill Country, explains Mark Harman of Mark Harman Real Estate

Fields of blue bonnets, breathtaking waterfalls, peach cobbler and other culinary delights, not to mention the nation’s second largest granite dome, Enchanted Rock (just outside Fredericksburg). It’s a half-mile hike to the top and an unforgettable experience. If you make the trek at the end of the day, about a half hour before sunset, you won’t forget the view, or the sound. According to what the Tonkawa and other Native American tribes believe, this rock talks. They tell of hearing strange noises at night. Scientists contend it’s fissures in the granite expanding at the end of a hot day, but you should come hear for yourself.

And visit nearby Fredericksburg for wine tasting, blues music, gourmet food and more ...
