Nice places. I wonder what the square platform on the water in front of the last one is for.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they let people take a swim or go fishing! That looks like a raft to me.
DeleteYacht dock?
ReplyDeleteYacht dock? Oh, I see what you mean. For a moment I thought you were swearing in Yiddish or something :)
DeleteInfidel - My first thought was yacht dock, too.
DeleteThere's more money floating around than we are aware of.... sheesh!
ReplyDeleteAnd the proud Portlandian quietly slips in a picture of the Pittock Mansion. Let's hear it for the local bling! Not quite up to the proportions of the Vanderbilt Estate but noteworthy just the same.

ReplyDeleteNext to last one) That looks like a place up in Ogunquit Maine, but for the life of me I can't think of the name of it.
Good morning Scott, if you have "search with Google Lens" you can find info on most any picture you right click on. This is the Castle Hill Inn in Newport, Rhode Island
DeleteMilleson - Thank you.

DeleteMilleson, thank you very much. Thanks for telling me how to do that. I will try it out. I'm leaning new things every day.
We have so many castles, palaces, estates and manor houses in Europe that are in disrepair or abandoned because even their wealthy owners find they cannot afford the upkeep. Just a total waste of wealth, wealth that could have gone to far better use.
ReplyDeleteToday honor noblesse oblige is missing among many of the wealthy.
The kings of France and the czars of Russia lived off their abused people and look what happened ! The very wealthy of today will meet the same fate if they do not control their greed and entitlement.
