Sonnenberg is the former summer home and creation of Frederick Ferris and Mary Clark Thompson. He was a New York City banker, and she was the daughter of a New York State governor. As newlyweds in 1863, the Thompson's purchased a 300 acre farmstead named Sonnenberg (Sunny Hill) near Canandaigua Lake for their summer estate. Must be nice 
My wife and I toured the grounds yesterday and these are some quick snaps as we wandered through. One could spend days here making photographs and I just may do that one day if I find the time.

I dig the close-up photo of the wall with all the vines, some interesting textures there.
