Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge

These photos are from several trips to Oklahoma between 2013 and 2015. These mountains are among the oldest in the US. The wildlife refuge is uncrowded and always beautiful. Some bad versions of a few of these were in a 2014 project, one of my first in Behance. I lived in nearby Lawton as a child. This place encouraged me to hike and camp and many things that ended up lifetime habits. I hope that you enjoy these.

The Forty Foot Hole. A favorite swimming hole when we were young.

An old mine locals call the Bat Cave. We used to camp in it when I was a teenager

Under the bridge view

Mt. Lincoln. It got the name because the skyline resembles the profile of Abraham Lincoln lying flat on his back.

Bisons seem so noble and all powerful. It's their place and they know it.
