YULE NIGHTS
We had the good fortune of an invitation to see the Christmas decorations at San Simeon, the Hearst Castle.It is a visual blitz of texture, detail and history.Halls are decked.The juxtaposition of the tapestries hint at multi dimensional story lines.The kitchen is a world unto itself.It was a windy and foggy night on the mountain as we moved around the massive grounds.A visit to the indoor pool, beneath the tennis courts,
before our drive down the mountain to reality.
Some nights as I stand gazing at the deep star field arching from the coastal mountains to the wide sea it's easy to imagine that six miles up the Pacific coast the Hearst Castle is a door to another world. Crossing the threshold is magical.
A lot of folks are waiting for the Castle to reopen. Hope you enjoyed this "oldie but goodie."
Stay safe. See you down the trail.
Enjoyable indeed. It just shows what God could have done if only he'd had the money!
