Hello, all
Here are my most recent Then & Now shots of The Charge Of The Light Brigade, taken at Lasky Mesa in Agoura, Ca. The horizons line up with the April of 1936 scenes of the Chakoti Garrison.
The first shot shows the garrison location, facing east towards Woodland Hills.
The second shows the tribes on the plateau, facing southwest towards Agoura.
The third shows the garrison from the inside, facing south towards Hidden Hills.
The fourth shows the troops from the garrison gate, facing west towards Agoura.
The last shot shows the garrison from the inside facing north towards Chatsworth.
Hope you enjoy the results!
Regards,

I thought I was gobsmacked before!
What an eerie feeling it must have been to stand there today looking out over that lonely and empty landscape so filled with life and excitement in the film! It's a wonder there isn't a mall or something there to spoil the moment after all this time…
Eerie, indeed, David, yet strangely comforting. I suppose it's because of being a Flynn fan and knowing these many of these locations where he stood still exist. Speaking of which, this location almost DIDN'T survive. It was only a few years ago that the owners of Lasky Mesa decided against selling it for housing subdivision but instead sold it to the state of California as park land. Thank Zeuss!

I'm speechless!
The words “Thank You” don't convey my gratitude but they will have to suffice for now.
Just wonderful posts, Thank You!!
