This brings back memories of when I was nine and my parents took me to Frontier Town in upstate NY. Everything was exciting because it was a different way of life and such things were built long before I was born and I could let my imagination soar. Good angle on the fort and fence. You have a lot of nice historical places to visit out there.

The antlers caught my eye so I know they didn't eat their horses all the time. :) Post work and composition are both done with flair and style JimboB.

A structurally sound building it looks like. Fine capture.

This one is another of your signature, dead giveaway Jimbob shots. Although you've used a different border than usual, I could recognize this as an original Jimbob in a second.

Once again this shot is almost lyrical and poetic. There is something otherworldly about your post photo work that I wish I knew how to do. Lovely subdued colors, fantastic detail while maintaining this surreal watercolorish look. All this shot is missing are a few of your signature trees. A solid 8 out of 10 if I see this in the VB. If I don't, it's an 8.4.

This is fort? Obviously our opinions are different about this subject, Jim. LOL I thought it was just an old general store. Lovely shot.

Jimbob, I saw the antlers above the entrance as well and it make me curious about the reason to collect them and the goal of hanging them there.

Fine shot of the copy of a 19th century style fort, mate. Well done again.

Quite an interesting building Jimbob. I like that spiked barrier too - wouldn't want to climb over that!
