... there's no place like home! lol Middletown, Connecticut, USA. Colonel Clarence Wadsworth built this humble summer abode in 1900. I can only imagine what the more formal, larger winter residence might have looked like. Its classical architecture belies the contemporary construction of steel and concrete. Its 500 acres were planned and developed by the Olmsted Brothers. Enjoy!

I like the view through the trees. The natural framing adds depth to your picture.

They sure knew how to place the trees so it would enhance the mansion Thad. You knew how to take the photo with the same goal.
Truly a great shot.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.
Thad, although somewhat tiny, think it can be a pleasant stay just for the summer months.
Good composition, my friend.

LYTRO. The new light field photography. Refocus your shots AFTER you have taken them. Just click on the word LYTRO. See a VIDEO HERE.
Coloms and trees make for a realy good composition.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
I think Rob said it so well. Love the trees in the forground and the house is beautiful.

A nicely presented scene, Thad. Nice framing with the trees.

There is nothing in the world of art like the songs mother used to sing. - Camille Pissarro
That's a very convenient and aptly used natural border to the entryway of your home, Thad. Once again, I'm impressed with your mastery of light and dark contrast to increase the depth of the shot. I remember your southeastern U.S. tour of Georgia and S. Carolina and your excellent architectural photography. You haven't lost your touch.

Very nice, Thad! Excellent balance of light and shadow, and a beautifully-composed look at this grand old house. Well done.

Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience
Thanks for the picture of the 1900 Mansion and the grounds were developed by the Olmsted bros. I know they did Central Park and Biltmore in N.C. glad to see another one of their works Thad!
