Description

This old 2 story building was built in 1903. It has 22 rooms and a 5 story viewing tower on the side of the building. It is open for tours, but we didn’t have that much time to spare. There was some talk about staging an ”Opera in the Bush” in the grounds of this estate at one stage.
I love the self-powered lawn mower and automatic fertiliser on the front lawn.

LOL at your info John, the Herford lawnmower/fertilizer is so out of place, that it makes this a winning image in my book!!!
Hope we have the privilege of seeing this again!!! #11286419

Gord's right, John: That dull, dilapidated, ramshackle, broken-down, garden-variety, long-past-its-heyday mansion by itself isn't any big deal.
But throw in that COW, and you've got yourself a WINNER!!! ;-D
P.S. Some serious bucks went into building that. I hope whoever originally lived there didn't take its beauty for granted. #11286474
