Castlebee,
Your photos of the estate are stunning. In fact, they are more impressive than what Lyndhust has on its official website. You are obviously a very experienced photographer. It was interesting to see Washington Irving's home, too -- did you get to Sleep Hollow Cemetery? (Sorry if you've mentioned this in earlier posts, I have only read one or two threads on the festival.) Hopefully we'll meet again at a future festival!
As I was thinking of your photo of Lyndhurst, I think it's the first one, I was reminded of a fantastic photo of Seaview Terrace that was on a Dark Shadows website a few years back. I wish I could find that photo again. It was very large and very wide shot. What was most remarkable about it was the dark, threatening sky ...
BTW, the webpage is beautifully designed too. What talent!
