FAA WATERCOLOR MARK DOES NOT APPEAR ON FINAL SALES
While walking around the historical grounds of Old Westbury Gardens located in Old Westbury, New York on a gorgeous autumn day, I was in the rear of the grounds when I came across this great looking long path with a perfectly straight path that almost gave off that sense of an entrance into a jungle, or an eerie gothic entrance. The site of the bare trees with the leaves on the ground made that eerie feeling even more so. I looked down this path and saw the little bit of sunlight at the end of the archway of trees and the various spots of sunlight on the concrete path. To me the look had all the opportunities for a great photo, and I thought about coming back right away next year when all of these trees are in full bloom. For more on the Old Westbury Gardens please feel free to read below;
Old Westbury Gardens, Nassau County, Long Island, NY, is the former home of John S. Phipps, his wife, Margarita Grace Phipps and their four children and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Completed in 1906 by the English designer George A. Crawley, the Charles II-style mansion sits amid 160 acres of formal gardens, landscaped grounds, woodlands and ponds.
Westbury House is furnished with fine English antiques and decorative arts from the more than fifty years that it served as the Phipp's residence.
