This is the village created for an old Western movie, and all of the buildings that I've posted in the past. It's just a couple of miles West of Terlingua, along the USA and the Mexican border. If you ever visit Big Bend, Texas, it's just a mile or two on the road to Persidio, when exiting Big Bend.

The b&w works perfectly for this one. This would be a good place to visit, but what a drive that would be for me. Would love to head out west, but probably won't get it done. tigs=^..^=

I can imagine John Wayne and his posse riding into town to keep law and order. Well done, Doug.

I can imagine this as a scene from the old cowboy movies. Good one Doug.

Great range of tones in the B&W Doug - I like your perspective.

Like Doug, I'm waiting for The Duke and his posse to ride into town looking for the bad guys (easily seen wearing the dark hats). From some research, apparently several movies were filmed on this location. It makes a great photography site - as you know well.

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
