Yours to rent from £24,000 for two nights (the minimum stay allowed).

Photo taken last week, before all the snow fell.

Cheers,

Good policy…keeps the riff-raff that can only afford £12,000 for one night away…

One of those at blickling estate in Norfolk, well a pyramid mausoleum…

The one at Garvagh was intended as a mausoleum as well. Unfortunately for the chap who had it built he died in France and was buried there. His wife wasn’t keen on the idea and was buried elsewhere as well. On the reverse side the original door outline is visible.

Been there only once.

Could pass for the rising sun but is the moon setting to the North, albeit illuminated by the rising sun.

Phone camera doesn’t do justice to just how luminous it was.

One of those evenings where I wished I’d had the mirrorless camera with me but was grateful that I at least did have my phone camera.

It’s vertical!

My old college buddy sent this photo - it is a place called Fallbrook near SUNY Geneseo where we went to school (undergrad). It is an approximately 80 foot waterfall, and in the winter forms an ice “stalagmite” almost to the top; this is top down view.

Here are a few of stock photos with no ice:

I remember one spring walking behind it while frozen, and as we were walking downstream to leave, the entire structure collapsed - I ran back through the water because other friends were still close to it, but fortunately none were hurt. Had I been back behind it when it happened, I would have been crushed under tons of ice; there were ice boulders the size of small cars.
