In keeping with killing two birds with one stone here is my effort at a
Christmas Card.
It also will give anyone interested an idea of the scale, and
eccentricities of Gillette's Castle. William Gillette
was an eccentric who lived in a Castle, he designed, on several hundred
Acres of land overlooking the Connecticut
River. In addition to designing the Castle to look like a ruin, he also
designed all the electrical switches and electrical
service as well. It is a very strange and interesting place.
This is a view of about 1/3 of the Great Room with Main fire place. The
Tree is approximately 18 Feet tall.
I chose this view with a Connecticut State Park "Ranger", changing a
Holiday Music CD in it to give some
human scale. Flash photography was forbidden, so this was hand held
from the second floor balcony
overlooking the Great Room.
