Beautiful Lights


Our astronomy club meets at the Vanderbilt Museum and Planetarium.  The museum was the home of William K. Vanderbilt II who loved the oceans and the natural world. In his seagoing global travels, he collected fish and other marine life, birds, invertebrates and cultural artifacts for the personal museum he planned to build on his Long Island estate. It is a gorgeous place with an amazing mansion and several museums, as well of the planetarium.  This year it is beautifully decorated for the holidays.  I just loved how these lights are decorated and the reflection of the light off of the Belgian block paved driveway.

Very pretty way to welcome you to the museum.

A very nice night scene. The serpentine looking driveway absolutely makes the shot!

I had to look up Belgium blocks because of the deep lines between them on the beautiful curved driveway. Also, love the decorated lamp posts. Betsey
