What great pictures. Thanks guys for sharing.
It’s funny you mention the song Ghost riders to go along with these pictures. These photos remind me so much of the storm clouds I remember along the US/Mexican border when I was a kid growing up in Douglas AZ.
A neat bit of history about the composer of this song.
Stan Jones stated that he had been told the story when he was 12 years old by an old Native American who resided north-east of the Douglas, Arizona border town, a few miles behind D Hill, north of Agua Prieta, Sonora. The Native Americans, possibly Apache, who lived within Cochise County, believed that when souls vacate their physical bodies, they reside as spirits in the sky, resembling ghost riders. He related this story to Wayne Hester, a boyhood friend (later owner of the Douglas Cable Company). As both boys were looking at the clouds, Stan shared what the old Native American had told him, looking in amazement as the cloudy shapes were identified as the "ghost riders" that years later, would be transposed into lyrics.
This may not be the most well known version , but it’s a very early one sung by Gene Autry. It must be one of the earliest Music videos made.
