Landscape Photography – Longhorn Cavern State Park


This is a shot I took from the rooftop of the original park headquarters at the Longhorn Cavern State Park near Burnet, Texas. This beautiful stone building was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) back in the mid 1930 s. The Civilian Conservation Corps had a real impact on Texas by constructing the state's first park system. The CCC was Franklin D. Roosevelt's most popular "New Deal" programs and put unemployed men to work on conservation projects throughout the United States. The second image is a shot of the incredible arches which lead visitors down to the caverns.
