    Nice shots. I remember this place very well. Doesn't look at all like your photos ( well, in some ways it does ) but I like your renderings in IR.
    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Thanks CMorgan, shooting in IR you can swap the color channels, red for blue, blue for red in the channel mixer function, it's what gives the false colors, along with different saturation levels.

    Howdy You,

    Well, it would probably look more like it would look in the 70's to me now<G>.

    Do you remember the land with the "Dolls"?

    I don't remember anything about dolls. Either I didn't see that particular attraction or I just don't recall it. Or even more likely, Mr. Agave and I were in deep conversation by then.

    When I'm in Mexico, I'm always traveling with some Mexican partners I have in some land deals down there. These guys have no limits and observe no boundries. I swear that at least one of them used to ride with Pancho Villa.

    Howdy Tom,

    My Wife just told me the History of the "Island of the Dolls" kind of spooky interesting. Here's the link with the History.

    http://everything2.com/e2node/Island%20of%20Dead%20Dolls

    It sounds like your trip to Mexico with your partners would be a wonderful experience in a wonderful land.

    Here's a few of our shots, not the best, but I think they show the feel of the place.

    Craig....

    Thanks so much for the extra pictures and the story behind the dolls. If the standard tour takes you by the island where they are, I must have gone by them. I sure don't remember them though.

    Most of my trips into Mexico are to the Northern Central part around Chihuahua. A little southeast of Chihuahua lies a smaller town of Delicias. It is there that my business interest is centered. On some of our land sets an old shrine and a hacienda that Pancho Villa was known to have used as a hideout on numerous occasions. This little group of buildings is known as Bachimba. It is here that we seek to develop a huge complex of communities designed to attract the gringo market.

    When I say my partners know no limits and observe no boundries, I am mostly referring to their eating and drinking habits. They are of the very privileged class in Mexico and somtimes carry things to the extreme. I have to be careful not to get caught up in all the excessive stuff. Most of the time I am successful.
