Afternoon View at the Deering Estates

I was awestruck when I saw this. I stood under the arch enjoying a cool breeze on the veranda during this hot day. All I could think of, was for how many years has this view been here and how lucky I felt to capture it on this day to share. The wood house was first built in 1900, the other stone building was built around 1922.
