Cypress And Mansion, image copyright 1998-1999, Laura Perkins   This photo was taken along 17 Mile Drive near Carmel, CA in December, 1998.  Color correction was done in Photoshop, but other than that, this particular image has not been manipulated digitally. I think the trees in this photograph are particularly beautiful. I have always enjoyed architechtural forms and I think that this gothic-style mansion is quite attractive.
