Walter W. Nelson


Ribbons of Time: the Dalquest Research Site




This is our latest exhibit of the photography of Walter W. Nelson. He spent much of 2004 capturing the unique beauty of the Dalquest Research Site. It’s an area owned by Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas for the purposes of scientific research. Located just 20 miles north of the Mexican border in the Chihuahuan desert, it may be the most spectacular canyon of Texas' Big Bend region. For Mr. Nelson, the only way in and out of the rugged area was via a pack mule. The canyon has been described as “a jewel in the desert” and “a naturalist’s dream.” It’s full of varying land formations, color and steep walls and is virtually pristine due to being so rugged. Mr. Nelson worked there during periods of all four seasons.

Mr. Nelson (born 1942) has been in several shows in the gallery over the years, and his photographs have been seen in exhibits around the country. He lives in Wichita Falls, Texas.
