Scenic Drive "The Best of the Border" at night

By
Home Inspector with Domicile Analysis of Texas

This the night scene one would see from Scenic Drive. Its a beauty.

Many young couples still visit Scenic Point as part of a romantic date,

just like their parents and grandparents did.

 

 

From this photo one can see the outline of the Border and !-10 Freeway.

Tourists and natives alike use the coin-operated telescopes to magnify a

particular view as they gaze out over two countries and the sparkling night lights.

 

 

The area before the construction of Scenic Drive was known as Stormsville,

and the city considered it a public health nuisance. D. Storms, a lawyer,

owned a great deal of land along the rim where about 400 people lived in squalor.

 

 

On a clear evening, when millions of city lights shimmer in the distance,

  ones hearts will skip a beat or two at the marvels spread before them.

" Who can argue with that? The Best of the Border.

Roy, that is one thing about the high desert area, you can see for miles at night. I remember driving from Roswell heading toward Portalis, NM, I could see the city lights some 60 miles away... Cool pix by the way...

Roy, nice shots. Were you using a tripod or just hand? They all look a little fuzzy though.
