When I visited Quanah Parker's former ranch home, it sat in an abandoned amusement park in Cache, Oklahoma. This historic home is being restored.

Why didn't I just call this section simply architecture? Because architecture is a deliberate act. I like to document organic places... not flora and fauna (although I love me a good tree), but places that were built out of necessity, or due to community needs, or because the desire to substantiate one's existence was just too imperitive to ignore.
