Old-Fashioned Friday - Retro Buckhorn Saloon

Welcome back for the fourth installment of Old-Fashioned Friday! Today's photo is a continuation from yesterday's shot of the interior of the Buckhorn Saloon. After paying the entrance fee which allows you to explore the museum portion, you encounter a "retro" styled area, complete with what is supposed to be small town San Antonio, complete with a San Antonio Express news building (you can see a portion of in looking outside the saloon in this photo), a jail, and a recreation of the Buckhorn Saloon. This area was pretty neat and I took more than a few photos that I will be processing in due time.

And, as an added bonus, here is another shot just as you enter the museum. This is set up on either side of the saloon featured in yesterday's photo. I did not take the time to count all of the bottles on the shelves, but 7 shelves with roughly 15 bottles per shelf comes out to around 105 bottles, so using "fuzzy math" and taking some liberties I called the shot "99 bottles of beer on the wall". Hopefully this will help get your weekend off to a good start!

  1. Oh my GOD, Brian, I am totally diggin' today's post and images! That B&W treatment for the saloon is absolutely top drawer, way to bring us all back 150 years! Spot on, just perfect. Then, we take in your shot of the beer bottles! The first inclination is to reach out and grab one, after all it's Friday! Once that passes, you begin to take in all the textures and details that you brought out with your spectacular processing! Top drawer my friend!
