This picture was taken at Olana the home of American painter Fredric Edwin Church in Hudson N.Y. Church was quoted as saying about his Estate "About an hour this side of Albany is the center of the world - and I own it."
Makes me reflect that our homes are usually the centres of the world. Mine definitely is: located exactly downtown and not far from the cetre of Europe and Europe as everybody knows is located in the centre of the world plus our world IS the centre of the universe ...ooops ...ooops sorry got carried away LOL
Very old-fashioned idyllic scene here !
Hey there Mister Madman, wat'cha know that I don't know
Tell me some crazy stories, let me know who runs this show
Glassy-eyed and laughing, he turns and walks away
Tell me what made you that way
All of earth is crammed with heaven And every bush aflame with God But only those who see take off their shoes. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning<p>
