Blithewold Mansion and Gardens is a 19th century English-style manor built in the 1890s by Pennsylvania coal magnate Augustus Van Wickle. The 45-room house is surrounded by over 30 acres of manicured lawns, trees, and flowers at the edge of Bristol harbor in Rhode Island.
This image of the Castle in the Clouds shows the attractive country cottage style of this small mansion overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee in the lakes region of New Hampshire. Built by Tom Plant in 1913, Lucknow Estate is now a popular tourist site that offers fascinating tours, plentiful hiking, and unparalleled views of the lake.
I used an artistic filter to impart a painterly look to the image. Prints are available from my Etsy shop.
