The sign says it all. Not long ago this area of Texas was the frontier, and every year about one quarter of the residents put on an outdoor musical to remember this Frontier.
I moved here about 15 years ago, and it really is the most incredible show I had ever seen.

FORT RICHARDSON BARRACKS

Cheryl and I went to FORT RICHARDSON to get some photos of the old fort. The people there were very nice and have done a great job keeping the frontier heritage alive for our future generations.
This photo is of the restored barracks. As I was walking around the inside thinking of the best way to photograph this scene, I could hear the Texas wind whistling in the pickets that made up the walls of the structure. In my mind I could just imagine what it must have been like to be in my late teens far from home, serving in the military and making this barracks my home.
I took my sound recorder out and recorded the sounds of the wind and took a couple of photos, and with a little computer magic was able to get the effect I was looking for.
