The slide show on the CD-ROM documents the natural beauty of the El
Paso area through more than 250 photos. El Paso, located in the center
of the Chihuahua Desert, is home to a large number of beautiful cacti.
Many different blooming cacti, other blooming plants, and fascinating animals
are shown together with some of the highlights of El Paso city. They are
testimony to the colorful and picturesque ambience of the El Paso area.
All photos were taken within the city limits of El Paso and show the plants
and animals in their natural habitat. The richness of the natural history
of El Paso is a treasure that is still under-appreciated and deserves more
attention and protection.
The photgraphers, Gertrud and Ad Konings, are both biologists and live
in El Paso. The music on the CD-ROM was provided by the Coronado HS Orchestras
