This is a very well known scene from the 1969 movie "True Grit" starring John Wayne. It is famous for the "Shoot out in the meadow scene" when Rooster Cogburn (John Wayne) uses 2 pistols while on horseback to take down Ned Pepper's gang. I have been to this site many times for a sunset but none worked out as well as this one! There was a beautiful German shepherd sniffing his way around nearly bumping the tripod. The owners were very apologetic while I nervously continued shooting knowing one bump could be disastrous! This is an HDR panorama comprised of 63 photos.
