I had a blast taking these shots at the gorgeous Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz, NY. Since I'm mainly in urban surroundings, it was a welcome escape to surround myself with the majestic beauty of Mohonk for the day (all while taking a photography course there!).
From Mohonk's website: "Surrounded by thousands of acres of unspoiled forest and winding trails, this seven-story New York castle is secluded and unspoiled, offering a haven of charm and grace nestled in pristine wilderness..."
Incredible photo opps! (and a funky self-portrait at the bottom)
