Vanderbilt built a mansion

When you make the turn into the driveway towards Vanderbilt mansion - this is the view you are greeted with. It's like you are entering heaven!

The leaves were just glowing with golden and orange light.

The backyard had these amazing views of the Hudson River. Across the way was an equally gorgeous mansion. Anyone know what this one is?

I wouldn't mind having a backyard like this!

The house itself was massive! I love the collumns and wrought iron details.

The details aren't appreciated until you get up close and personal...

It was such a gorgeous day - we layed in the grass in the front yard for a while just soaking in the sunshine.

When we headed to the parking lot to leave - one more shiny object caught my eye - a vintage jaguar. I just love how the leaves reflected in the glossy black paint.

If you ever have a chance to visit this place I highly recommend it!

It looks so gorgeous up there! I'm so jealous over your trip:) Every year I swear I'm going to head up to Rhinebeck but have yet to make it. Very nice pictures. What kind of camera do you use, by the way?
