House on the Hill

House on the Hill

I forgot to post this one. And since I missed yesterday, this will make a two-fer for today.

Again, and the last one for a while, from upstate NY. In contrast to the broken down old homes and the local economic woes, a few New Yorkers are rediscovering the Catskills as destinations for second, weekend and summer homes, so you see the occasional mansion or estate being erected, sometimes just old farmhouse are bought and renovated too. This one is still under construction.

  1. Thanks for sharing this one. Even though I have heard of the Catskills, I had absolutely no idea where it was. I just did a little google earth and research... and now I know. It's nice learning about places through blogging.

    There is definately some wealth in this image. (maybe deserves colour though).

  2. Thanks Bill, there was just too much greenery in the picture, including the paneling on the house itself - although one might argue that the "color of money" makes green a good choice....
