Thursday morning was foggy and humid - looked like it was going to rain - so we decided to go back to Newport and visit a few mansions.
On our way to Newport, we stopped for a short visit to Wakefield.



The bridge to Newport
The Breakers -home of Cornelius Vanderbilt (built in 1893). Was not allowed to take any photos inside and was very foggy outside!!




The Elms - home of Mr. Edward Julius Berwind (built in 1901). The gardens were so beautiful!

Look at the size of this tree!!

Cool shots! Love the gardens!
Wow, what beautiful scenery. That huge tree is just gorgeous, as are the old mansions. Can you imagine living in one of them?!?
Wow, incredible tree! And wow, the fog looks like San Francisco:)
OMG that has got to be the biggest tree ever. Its not everyday you get pulled over for a coach.
Gorgeous Celine, and I love your pp'ing. That tree in incredible!
I really like the water shot and the cool greenery. The mansions are delicious! Oh to be a kid growing up on a place like that.
What beautiful shots! I love the reflections and the pp'ing in these! The fog ones are awesome to!
oh man these photos are beautiful
esp the ones with the fog and the huge trees
Very cool! I really like that shot of the light post and fog!
Celine, how lucky you were that it was foggy when you were at The Breakers. The atmosphere (no pun intended) that it lent to the photos is wonderful! The carriage of people in vintage costume driving through the fog looks like ghost materializing...very evocative. Great shots!!!
I so love all your shots, I just feel like I am seeing everyting with you. That tree is huge!
These are fabulous. Love the great variety you captured. Your reflections shots are gorgeous!
WOW!!!!!! And those last shots are awesome! I love the facial expressions you caught in the "coach-riders"! Great reflections in the water, and the fog shots are incredible. You see so much in your adventures!!!!! I have to take one adventure and streched it out, as much as possible, or you'd get Grand Forks flatness shots! And all of that is ONE tree?????
Great captures! That tree looks huge! I love the carriage of people!
