Through the combined efforts of Gary Forman, Dale Kohler and Chris Smith, the 18 pounder and gunnade from THE ALAMO (2004) were loaned for display at the Alamo in honor of the 175th anniversary. "Them guns don't give it no mission look to me!"

Here they come! Great shots there, Ned! I like this one in particular -- zoomed in, didya? Is it just my imagination, or is SALHA using smaller cannons these days? I mean smaller in heft, not bore. For some reason, I keep thinking the gun at the palisade during the 2006 Dios y Libertad (the last one I saw) performances was larger. I remember John Potter telling me it was a four-pounder.

Glad that you like them, Ted, and Rick. Here's a photo of the black powder salute from the dawn ceremony. I had to just sort of reach up over people's heads to take it, as I was in the back of the crowd. Black powder salute to all who fell in the battle of the Alamo, March 6, 1836.

Rick, don't know about SALHA's cannon. They looked the same to me.

This is an interesting angle. Looks like the 'Mo was behind you. I thought SALHA usually tries to keep that area clear for the Dawn ceremony, but then I've only witnessed it twice. An overflow crowd for the 175th . . . . .

I was so far in the back of the crowd that I had to just reach up with the camera over my head, snap and then hope for the best.
Yeah, it certainly was an overflow crowd. In prior years, I always had "front row" seating.

Joan Headley's Alamo 175 party was held at the Spanish Governor's Palace! What a wonderful atmosphere that Spanish Governor's Palace courtyard provided! It was almost like being at Jim Bowie's wedding in THE ALAMO (2004).
