[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Biltmore Estate is a study of how an entrepreneur can turn a large heritage resource from a non-revenue generator into a heritage tourism destination. In an article: "The Cost of Doing Business" by Edward Cone in Sky Magazine, October 1996, William Amherst Vanderbilt Cecil described how he turned a 255-room white elephant into a heritage tourism destination grossing 100 million dollars a year in revenue. The article states: "At a time when public funding is tight and competition for entertainment dollars intense, Biltmore's entrepreneurial model is increasingly pertinent to America's historic museums and attractions and increasingly studied by them."

Artistically Beautiful.
LIked the cool reflection.

The entrepreneurial bent must run in the blood :) Thanks for the note, Anatoly.

Wonderful composition -- well-chosen lighting conditions, crisp detail, and very pleasing symmetry with the reflections.

Well done!
