Heast Castle by Robert Swetz

 

Hearst Castle - ActiveRain 2016 Photography Contest

 

Robert Vegas Bob Swetz has been to the Hearst Castle 4 different times on tours taking photographs and videos, and it is such an amazing place to visit.

The photograph above is the main pool at the Hearst Castle and there are a total of 3 pools, and this is my favorite pool. For anyone that has had the chance to visit the Heart Castle, you are very lucky and for anyone that has never had the chance, I would suggest you put a visit in your bucket list.

(Please Note) This photograph of the pool would fall under the group REAL LIFE for the contest.

 

Here is Robert Vegas Bob Swetz's photograph for the ActiveRain 2016 Photography Contest mentioned by Dick Greenberg.

They have the summer cottage back here in Newport RI.  No pools as they have the Atlantic Ocean for a back yard.  Nice photo

Hello Endre

Vegas Bob drove by the entrance of the Heart Castle back in the late 70's as a traveler of California when I lived in Portland Oregon.

It took around 25 years before VB actually visited the Hearst Castle and after 4 different visits, photographs, videos and more I can't get enough!

What a amazing place, the history, items that William Hearst collected tot make this castle are remarkable ...

Bob, I believe you will want to change your category, unless you listed the Hearst Castle--which I think is a "No". Here is the update from Dick:

Note: The Real Estate category is for photographs that were used in, or intended to be used in, a real estate business context - listings, flyers, marketing and branding, etc. It is only the photos that comply with this requirement that will receive the points bonus for this category.  If you are a lender, inspector, stager, title person or anyone else associated with real estate, we'll accept photos that relate to your business in this category. We have also added a Miscellaneous category in Real Life.

Hello Gayle and I switched the category on my post and thanks for the heads- up ...
