The Locals

Visiting Terlingua, Texas, I came upon the local gathering place and discovered the primary local activity - hanging out on this porch and drinking beer. They even included the requisite sleeping hound. A sign of the wall states "No Dogs on Porch," but there were easily more dogs than humans. I don't think that Terlinguans care too much - about anything.
Oh, yeah, sure, no dogs on porch!! Like the dogs can read!!
Love the Ghost Town Gallery and Museum sign.....not much happening there, huh?

Looks like a very relaxed town.

Ha, a very sleepy town. I don't think I'd cope!

Oh yikes, at first glance I did not recognize that black object as a dog on the porch. I thought it was maybe a camera-gear bag. Thanks to your commentary I now see the feet and pads of the pooch. Funny about there being more dogs than humans in a place there weren't suppose to be any canines.

Жизнь небольшого городка тиха и размеренна...А мы привыкли к скорости и суете...

@panthora I'm sure the dogs in Terlingua can read....the people? Not so much. Thanks for the comment, Osia.

@onewing Relaxed for sure, Babs. The nearest shop is a Prada store - really! And it's about 70 km away!

@888rachel It's a fine line between a sleepy town and an utterly boring town. This one errs on the sleepy side. Fun to visit, but I also would not cope well there for long. Gotta have my Domino's once in a while!

@lyndemc That's Sadie and she did NOT like me at all! Must have been a female.

@kevin365 Thanks for the comment Kevin! Yeah, I like those kinds of people shots too. All kinds of possibility for cartoon bubble insertions!

Да, Татьяна может быть, это лучшей жизни, чем у нас! Но было бы трудно перестройки. Спасибо за глядя и комментариев.

@redy4et Thanks Elizabeth. That's a great way of stating it.

Maybe the good folk of Terlingua can't read Ron. I think this pic is worth a thousand words.
June 30th, 2015  
Ah shit!! I just read your comment above about them not being able to read. Now I'll have to think of something else to say :-(

i'd have expected to see old men hanging around on a porch like this in a place such as terlingua. nice to see the hotstuff, i mean, the young man hanging around in there, too! nice shot, ron! is this totally random as i would think they'd be chasing you for taking such a shot!

Superb candid image Ron could it be anywhere else with those boots and hats noticed the beer bottle sleeves, not required in the UK beer does not stay in the bottle long enough to get warm, lol)
