"Fantasy, abandoned by reason, produces impossible monsters. But, united with it, she is the mother of the arts and the origin of marvels." ~ Francisco De Goya
Here is a revisit to a rainy day at Cumberland Island's Dungeness Mansion Ruins. I won't go into the history of it again, but if you missed my photos and commentary the first time around, they can be found HERE. {---link My reason for posting it is that an interesting link cropped up in the Photography Forum, Modern Ruins. {---link Renderosity members have been posting links to web sites that have images of urban decay and old ruins, a subject I find fascinating. If you have some time, why not go take a peek? I kept the image rather large so that you could see the details. I can only imaging how beautiful this palace of the Carnegie's was in it's heyday. Yes, that is a backpack by the fountain -- I am not sure who it belonged to. ------
Thank you for your quintuplet comments on my previous upload,

used to think only in Russia we have never cared enough of its history.
