Testing trip day 3: Villa Manin, part 3 (final)

It sure would be rough to have a 30-acre backyard cared for by a team of gardeners, full of 16th century Baroque statues, a couple of ponds, hundreds of exotic and local trees, surrounded by a huge 14 foot (4 meter) tall wall with guard shacks and special entrances.  I just think that would have been so tough to live with...they didn't have to heat or cool the entire place.  Enjoy the photos.

You won't see this available at Lowe's, Home Depot or Bricoman.

The Net and Deep Thinker were both amazed at the size of the grounds...Hide and seek here would be totally awesome!!

On of the multiple roads cutting through the grounds, the trees were literally buzzing...bees were busy at work.

Looking from the backyard area where Deep Thinker was above to the back of the grounds.
There's a hill in the back affectionately called Mount Etna.
