Here's the chance to see the WF like it's never been presented before! I've posted many images here on the blog from the late afternoon and evening, always commenting that it's something that "can't be explained". The light changes everything...the mood of the entire mansion changes! Especially now, with the current mourning exhibit on display...a sense of mystery and the unknown. Magical moments of light and shadow...only to be seen. Deep details are enhanced and the air becomes very still. I invite you to join us for this special opportunity! A charming "repast" reception for local photographer Karen Gainey Auburger (whose image below is an example of how she captures the odd light from the port hole windows). This image was taken from her personal collection and will not be featured in the show...I just liked it!
