Moody Mansion, is based in Galveston Texas.
I found the info on Wikipedia.
The mansion was commissioned by Galveston socialite Narcissa Willis in 1893. Throughout her life, Willis had asked her husband, entrepreneur and cotton broker Richard S. Willis, to build a grand home. Willis demurred as he preferred to keep his assets liquid to be distributed among his ten children on his death. After Richard Willis' died in 1892, Narcissa had the home she and her husband shared torn down and began plans to build a more opulent home on the site. For this act, Willis was estranged from her family until her death in 1899.Her children never visited the opulent mansion designed to bring them back to Galveston. Willis lived alone in the house with a single housekeeper who was paid $1,000 a year, three times the wages domestics earned at the time.
Willis commissioned an English architect, William H. Tyndall, to design the home. Following the style of Richard Norman Shaw, Tyndall used elements from different cultures and periods, leading to an eclectic appearance. The interiors were designed by Pottier & Stymus, a famous New York firm of the time that also worked for such clients as Thomas Edison, William Rockefeller, and President Ulysses S. Grant.
Upon Narcissa Willis' death in 1899, her daughter Beatrice put the home up for sale. Libbie Moody, who lived in a home nearby the mansion, asked her husband, William Lewis Moody, Jr., to put in a bid for the mansion. After the Hurricane of 1900 devastated Galveston that September, many of the bidders pulled out of the sale. Moody won the mansion for $20,000, a fraction of the mansion's over $100,000 worth. Moody, his wife and four children promptly moved into the home and celebrated their first Christmas at the mansion in 1900.
Members of the Moody family resided in the home until 1986 when it was turned into a historic museum commemorating the Moody family. Hurricanes continue to effect the history of the home. In September 2008, Hurricane Ike lead to the flooding of the basement. Libbie Moody's potting room and the period kitchen were lost. As of July 2014, the basement was opened as the Galveston Children's Museum.
On the way to the beach, I saw this stunning mansion, and had to take pictures of this beautiful architecture!
(It was a cloudless day, but I love clouds, so I just added them)

This is what the whole Czechia currently looks like, which is covered in snow😄. After all these years, we finally got some real snow️. I personally love snow, how about you?☃️👍👎? The photos are from 10.12 from Tesák😄. There was a big fog up there that day, so it created these beautiful landscapes 😆.
Tobi Macháček wishes you a merry Christmas!❤️😄

In discovery mode going from d40 to d300... I am learning how to use the focus options and coordinate my two hands.. not as easy as it seems.. I am posting nonetheless as it comes together... The D40 was surprisingly more docile in many ways..yet felt limited in what you could compose.. interesting.. :-)

Nothing to this food photography lark.
We're Here: 28 days later (I can assure you, the back of my fridge is an abandoned place...)
This is just a bit of an experiment. I took it after following a thread about "mystical lighting" of food over in the Strobist group. I was interested to give it a try. Yay for the mystical process of decay.
A late fall image in a local forest. It was a cool and damp overcast day, and I was out there to capture the mood and the natural wild raw beauty of it all.

We had a portrait photography meet in my town Sunday. Not that big into portraits, but I must say that I had a blast. It was nice doing something differnet and out of my comfort zone. This was my favorite shot from the meet.
