Collinwood Illuminated!
« on: September 16, 2002, 02:19:10 AM »
Digging through some old fest photos, I came across this photo pictured below and thought I would share it with the board. It was taken by a friend of mine on our group trip to Seaview(Collinwood) following the NY fest in 1999.

As in prior years following the East Coast Festivals, I had secured permission from the owners to bring a group of friends up to tour the grounds and inside of the house. On this particular night my friend Rich and I were sitting on the Terrace and he asked me if I thought it would be OK if he turned on "some" of the lights so that he could take a night-time photo of the house.  

As you can see from the photo, he managed to gain access to quite a few of the rooms, the result being this unique perspective of Collinwood! (I then made him run around and shut off all those lights he had turned on.)

Beautiful shot! Don't they use a similar one sometimes on the show? Thanks for posting it.

Wow what a beautiful picture Bob!  Thank you for taking this lovely picture and for posting it.  And thanks to your friend also (who ran around to turn the lights on)  I'd say he did a great job!    Thanks!   :-)
