Sepia Scenes - Brought to you by Mary the Teach

This is roughly the same view of the Executive Mansion you saw a few weeks ago, but with a wider angle of view. It's not as easy to see in this shot, but the holiday decorations not so readily visible were in part designed and executed by our very own Kenju of Imagine

But this place gives me some sort of 'rollercoster'-feeling.

invisible said...: In my minds eye,just out of camera view,I see a horse and carriage with a man in top hat and tails and a woman in evening gown and pearls. The man has a monacle.
I can hear the clippity-clop of the horses hooves on the cobblestone streets.; 7/15/2009 7:30 PM
