I love this place, Vanderbilt mansion. Wonderful choice for B&W, so many interesting design shapes , etc. I did almost same exact photos in color. Well done! #11504606

That little touch of the outdoors is a fine element here, Chris. It somehow sets the eye free and then brings it right back to the details of the architecture.

Thank you both, Mitch & Harvey.
Harvey - it is a fantastic estate to tour, and as I'm very partial to Samuel Yellin ironwork, it is a significant destination for that alone! #11504685
