Scenic Photos

[Blondie]

Amanda~~I didn't go back far enough until now, and missed your beautiful photos
before. They really are good.

BTW, thanks for all the new smilies. It is hard to pick just one to put under our user name. Also, I like your new format.

This picture was featured on our local news during the weather report....

Wow! Now I'll have to go do a search and see if I can find info on it. I'm sure the story of who built it and why must be interesting.

Nothing spectacular about this one, I just thought it was pretty when I took it. This shot was taken from my neighbor's yard. The kids (and my dog LOL) were swimming in her pool and it was around sunset. (Henderson, NV)

I think it's pretty spectacular! Thanks for the great pics!! Loved them all.

We need to get the word out about this thread. More photos! We want more photos!! I posted a reminder on the "Postcards from Anywhere" thread, but a lot of members don't go there. It is kind of hidden 'way down there on the list; if I wasn't subscribed to the thread, I'd forget where to find it myself. LOL

Here is another view of Boldt Castle. The structure in the front is the childrens playhouse. There is a theater inside that Mr. Hart would hire NYC actors to come and entertain his children. There is also a bowling alley inside. Incidently, Hart means deer in German (if I remember correctly) and there are many deer ornaments on things. There are 3 I think on the top of this structure (anyway I think on this particular one).

I'm sure that quoting myself must be yet another sign of approaching senility! LOL

If anyone's interested, here's some of what I found about the Castle on the Web:

Boldt Castle: A Virtual Tour Tons of pics and even ecards

Boldt Castle A page on what looks to be a nice site about the 1000 Islands area

Well we went for a bike ride, but the horse refused to come out! Probably because my husband wasn't with us, the horse likes my husband.

Greg did shoot this picture though....

You are quite welcome I moved the Postcard Swap up under Clubs on the main page of the forums, so it should be quite visible now and no longer buried

As for this thread, whoever the moderator is of this forum can submit this thread to be included in the Forum Newsletter that goes out each week.

Thanks for the compliments on the photos!

That picture is beautiful! Is you husband a photographer by trade, or just a hobbyist?

You guys have inspired me. I will have to dig through some of my old photo albums. I used to take photography in High School and always wanted to be a National Geographic photographer, but couldn't afford college so I have a lot of scenic photos.
