This photograph is from Peter Brown's series, Hometown Texas. West Texas: Full Moon over the Chisos Mountain depicts a desert landscape at dusk, with a full moon rising over the mountains. The last light of the setting sun hits the distant mountain range, and wispy clouds pass over the bright moon.
