The building has such fantastic architectural details, shapes, and shadows.
And the gardens, even this late in the season, were still lovely,
full of light and little unexpected treasures.

a little place in the country
On my recent road trip I took a little detour up along the Hudson River, and stopped at the Vanderbilt Mansion in Hyde Park, New York. It was getting late in the day, and so I missed the last tour of the interior of the house, but the building and grounds were just beautiful in the fading afternoon light.

Lovely, Lucy. There was a time when I could have told you all the trivia about this, but most of it has slipped out of my brain.
ReplyDeleteI love the shot of looking up at the columns. I love the rose

I like the shadows of the iron work on the steps and the bird bath especially much...but all you do is beautiful. I agree with Lindy!
