Description

Frank Bowles' horse became frightened and threw him off. This caused a rifle to discharge and badly injure his knee. He lay in camp for several weeks without medical attention and when friends took him to a doctor for amputation it was too late. (This information was given by his daughter.) I have many more Boothill shots, but I will only upload 2 more after this. I have some interesting shots of the Bird Cage Theater, but they aren't very good. The lighting inside was bad, there was glare, I didn't have a tripod, etc... and I am still learning... so they could be better. Maybe I'll share a few anyway. Anyway, thank you so much for visiting my gallery, commenting on my last upload, "Boothill Graveyard". Have a Great Weekend~ ~HUGS~

Pretty cool. You don't normally see picket fences around individual graves. Great POV and composition. Nice work.

Frank must have been someone special to have rated a picket fence around his rocky grave. Times have drastically changed from those days of barren isolation to cell phones today. Cool POV and great clarity and light/shadow contrasts in this shot.

I think this one does it! Sort of the coup de grace, you know!

So sad and so young too. It is a great shot, the light the shade, and texture, plus that lonely fluffy cloud in an amazingly blue sky - guess it was one hot day! xx
