El Castile - Decatur, Texas

[bburton]

"The Castle" was built in 1883 by cattle baron Dan Waggoner and was once headquarters to the vast Waggoner ranching empire in North Texas. The house has 16 rooms with 8 wood-burning fireplaces. El Castile was the model for the home in the movie "Giant".

Thanks for the kind comments on this; it's one of my favorite IR shots. Taken with a Canon PowerShot Pro1 full-spectrum converted camera with a 665nm IR-pass filter on front.

I love both images, where is it located. I will be in Plano from the 9th to the 12th of June and would love to photograph some of the places you have been to.
