The original came from my archives when I was shooting with the Canon 20D in 2008. Original was taken at the Alamo Village Movie Set outside of Brackettville, Texas where many westerns have been made.

  Birthday was May 18, 1940. Today I am a few years older but still feeling funky and fine. Be back in the Rodeo Arena July 6 & 7th. I took the capture on my birthday in May however.

  The Pony Express gone psychedelic! Love the vibrant neon colors and the "ghosties" of drivers and passengers past. Terrific creative work, here, Emile! (and a pretty cool find, too...I'd like to check out Brackettville one of these days.)
