  Cop Crash
  by Bob Fox

  A police car crashed during a high speed maneuver. I heard the smash about midnight right out front and grabbed my camera. The deputy was uninjured, though rather shook up. Picture was taken using infrared settings with no flash. The infrared image was converted to black and white in PhotoShop and enhanced slightly. I didn’t see the deputy in the darkness and was surprised later to find him in the picture.

  Bygone Time Sheriff
  by Christine Till @ CT-Graphics

  .... good ol ’ western music and whiskey … then the unmistakable sound of a double barrel shotgun … / sounds like “serious” trouble between Oatman’s outlaws and heroes. Though Oatman, AZ, on Historical Route 66, is only a shadow of its former self, it is well worth a visit. This “living ghost town” not only provides a number of historic buildings, but the sights of “wild” burros roaming the streets, as well as fearless gunfights and the haunted Oatman Hotel where Clark Gable and Carole Lombard spent their wedding night back in 1939. / Oatman is a fun place to visit – an authentic old western town and a popular TV and western movie backdrop.

  Big Iron
  by TheFrase

  There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their play / And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about to-day / Texas Red had not cleared leather when a bullet fairly ripped / And the ranger’s aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip / Big iron on his hip / -Johnny Cash

  Wyatt Earp
  by Linda Gregory

  This photo was taken at Tombstone, Arizona’s Wyatt Earp Days. There were costumed characters everywhere. Their costumes were judged on adherence to authenticity. Skits by acting groups were also judged. Photographed with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ 28. “The Town Too Tough to Die,” Tombstone was perhaps the most renowned of Arizona’s old mining camps. When Ed Schieffelin (SHEF·e·lin) came to Camp Huachuca (hwah·CHEW·kuh) with a party of soldiers and left the fort to prospect, his comrades told him that he’d find his tombstone rather than silver. Thus, in 1877 Schieffelin named his first claim the Tombstone, and rumors of rich strikes made a boomtown of the settlement that adopted this name. During World War I, Tombstone was a major producer of manganese for the government. In World War II, Tombstone was extracting lead for the cause. After both conflicts, Tombstone faded into obscurity, just to be resurrected at a later time. The citizenry of Tombstone decided rather than depending on a vanishing mining industry, they would focus their time and energy on tourism and restoration. Good call! Many of Tombstone’s historic buildings are within an area bounded by Fremont, 6th, Toughnut and 3rd streets. Among them are St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, built in 1882; the Crystal Palace Saloon, one of the most luxurious saloons in the West; and the Tombstone Epitaph building, where the oldest continuously published paper in Arizona is still being printed. Western printing history exhibits in the front office are free to the public. Truly a Historical American Landmark, Tombstone is America’s best example of our 1880 western heritage, which is well preserved with original 1880’s buildings and artifacts featured in numerous museums.
