Taken last summer at Rosecliff mansion in Newport, Rhode Island. I don't know exactly what you'd call this thing (I just called it a trellis :shrug: ), but in any case it's part of the rose garden at the side of the house. I thought it was one of the prettiest areas on the property, and it reminded me a bit of The Secret Garden, one of my favorite books. More Newport photos should be coming in the future. :)

Lovely photo! It certainly reflects a "secret garden" feeling in the angle and the lighting. One of my favorite mansions... :heart:

"The Great Gatsby" was filmed at Rosecliff, yes?

That's what the tour guide said. :nod: Supposedly part of "27 Dresses" was filmed in the ballroom, too, but I have a hard time telling which scene it is. But the Chinese tea house from Marble House is really easy to spot in that movie. ^_^

The tea house... *sigh* Need to get back to the mansions one of these days - before the tourists descend... Have you ever visited the Astors' Beechwood? The tour guides are in period costume and act the roles of the family, their friends and their staff. :love:

No, I haven't, but I read about it in the paper last year and I reeeally want to go! Although, I heard it was being sold...I have no idea what happened with that. I'll have to see if I can find out.

Thanks so much for the fav, btw. ;)

You're welcome - it's a beautiful shot!

I'd heard about the Beechwood sale, too, but never heard the outcome. It'd be a shame if the new owner didn't continue the tours and events - I've always wanted to go to the Victorian Christmas party and the 20's murder mystery nights.
