Nice shots! I love the second one the best.http://freesmileyface.net/smiley/Happy/happy-thumb-up-045.gif (http://freesmileyface.net/Free-Happy-Smileys.html)

If I could, I would love to own a house similar to this one. Love the architectural details.

Thanks for sharing! http://freesmileyface.net/smiley/Others/others-012.gif (http://freesmileyface.net/Free-Others-Smileys.html)

nice looking 'pad' has old country charm to it, not my style of place but a very fine building none-the-less :applause:

[djscoo]

Is it still occupied?

Hey All,

OK so I tracked down your photostream. You are getting good at HDRs. These are nice although I wonder how some selective focusing (blurred house emphasizing sharp texture in the rock&tree&plaque) and maybe some added cropping on the first would have been. I like the second better although I wonder about more tree on the right and/or a more dramatic (lower?) angle.

PS You expected a critique here right? :icon_lol:

PSS Is the Irish pub with the peanuts on the floor still on the river walk in SA? The only time I have ever seen the riverwalk the river was frozen over with ice.

PSSS Pics of the Alamo and the Lone Star Brewery coming?

Tks EasyEd...
One thing though, I haven't done any HDR work......:mixedsmi:

As far as Lone Star is concerned, perhaps if I can get a decent shot...

Great shots, Panther. Good stuff.

I've been through Francis E. Warren Air Base a time or two. It used to be a cavalry post and the stables are still there to this day. At least they were in 1988, the last time I was there.

1912... Hmmm. Post Philippine occupation duty for "Black Jack" Pershing, but four years before the Mexican Incursion of 1916 and 1917 and five years before the General led the American Expiditionary Force to Europe to aid France and England in the Great War.

A friend of mine lives in a house here in town that was built in 1780...

Yep & it was a HUGE cavalry post....

Beautiful old house, they built 'em to last back then. Very similar to the senior officers' housing at Offutt AFB (formerly Fort Crook). Betcha it was kinda chilly for Black Jack and his family when they got out of bed on a Wyoming winter's morning. :d

Excellent photos, Ed! I'm a big fan of this 'turn of the century' architecture and brick work. I am also proud to state, that this bears even more interest to me, as my great grand father, 2nd Lt. William Darwitz (whom I never knew) served under General Pershing as part of the Mexican Expedition, shortly after this time period, in 1916, and then went to Europe as part of the 141st Infantry, 36 Division, AEF - something I didn't know up until a few years ago, when I was handed his effects from that era.

Attached is an image of just one piece of several that I have of his, a 1/2-in. screw/pin, that looks like it would have attached to a service-man's hat.
