The Classic White Picket Fence
We have all seen this type of "white picket fence" photo many times before, but the Fall colors, light, and contrast around Carson City are something very special.
The late afternoon sun, along with the colors, make seeing a colorful Mountain Street unique. This photograph was taken looking south, near the famed Krebs Peterson Mansion.
This beautiful mansion is where the western movie "The Shootist" was lensed. "The Shootist" was actor John Wayne's final movie. The cast was blockbuster: John Wayne, Lauren Bacall, Richard Boone, Scatman Crothers, Harry Morgan, James Stewart, John Carradine, Ron Howard, Sheree North, and Hugh O'Brian.
The Krebs Peterson mansion was built 100 years ago. The south portico on the house was built for the filming of the Shootist in 1976. Mr. Wayne's Shootist co star, Lauren Bacall, recently passed away.
A young Ron Howard played her son Gillom. Mr. Howard said later that Mr. Wayne gave him one piece of acting advice: "Ron, if you want to appear menacing, keep your mouth closed."
