Orion was supposed to be a ghost town; well, so I thought. But apparently there are still some folks living there, and you KNOW you are an outsider when you stop there to take pictures. As I was setting up, this kid came by on a quad, checked me out and made sure there was a load of dust (just what I needed with the new camera and lens). So I waited until the dust had settled before I took a couple of shots of the "estate" home this once was ... well, it was real 'estate' ...

Anyway, the kid came by again and somehow the musical theme from a movie long ago, starring John Voight and Burt Reynolds, came to mind .. mind you , there was no banjo ....

You must be referring to these two guys, Matt. :)
Steve Martin and Kermit the Frog in "Dueling Banjos" from Steve Martin, Kermit the Frog, Matt Hoyle, and Funny Or Die (http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/e05827aa03/steve-martin-and-kermit-the-frog-in-dueling-banjos?rel=player)

Cool old place and nicely photographed but that false front makes me wonder if it might not have been a general store or post office?
