Reflections in Windows.

We seem to always - or at least *I* mostly always strive for the best photo - often times taking it through a car or plane window.

"Oh no! There is a reflection!"

But is that really a bad thing?  Somehow parts of "What the photograph is seeing" puts the photographer IN the photo as some sort of hologram, and there you have it.

And Yep - that's me in the passenger seat as I try to take photos of amazing Arizona landscapes , not intending to catch myself. 

A ways off in the distance.

There may be windshield bugs.

We went to Tombstone!

And you have to know my brother Scott to accept the fact that we are going to watch every Ghost Hunters episode, every version of any Tombstone & OK Corral movie so we can fully live the experience.

IN this case it made it feel like we walked right out of the TV screen, and into the real life experience of being here.

Selfie with *THE SIGN.*

Old streets lined with - shops and restaurants of course!

And the occasional shootout reenactor on his way to yet again act out the thing this place is most famous for.

In a fateful thirty seconds, nearly thirty shots were fired at close range. The gunbattle between the Earps – lead by Marshal Virgil Earp, his brothers Wyatt and Morgan and their friend, Doc Holliday – and the Clanton-McLaury gang left Billy Clanton and the McLaury brothers dead and Virgil, Morgan, and Doc wounded.

This display was stationary, but there is a button to push to hear the narrated audio version.

In the theater area for the reenactment.

The show was fantastic - light, sarcastic at times, and still full off surprise.

We booed at the bad guys.  We yelled "Yay!" at our heros.  The audience participation made it fun.

Buggies in the Barn -

Vintage quilt on one of the working lady cribs

Do we want to let them know that technically this quilt is the wrong time period for the era they are trying to recreate?? (1880)

In another small theater for the history of Tombstone presentation.

Two goofs on the boardwalk!

Menfolk!

Street scene in late afternoon -

I wish we had more time to wander shops before they closed for the night.

The infamous Bird Cage Theatre!

Now a museum of old Tombstone memorabilia.

Take your time in here - it's fascinating!

Of course - they would HAVE to have treadles!

Wheeler & Wilson

Old Piano -

Anyone for a coach ride?

Tombstone Courthouse, 1882

Two years after the Courthouse was built, Quiltville Inn was built as the Fields' House in Mouth of Wilson Virginia -

I thought about the differences of these two places at about the same time frame of history.

Wow.  Just wow!

So - I am home.  We got in a bit past midnight and it took a while for my brain to slow down enough that I could sleep.  And I didnt sleep long.

I've bene up since 5-something East Coast Time.  Do the math.  It's not pretty.

Today's plan is to get the laundry started at the inn while I work on getting orders out that came in while I was gone to Arizona.

There is still time to get your Essential Triangle Tool, Simple Folded Corners or Simple Folded Corners Mini ordered and to you before we start with Part One of Old Town on 11/22/24!
