Mountpelier Mansion

Laurel Maryland
This is a beautiful home-now museum between Washington and Baltimore. It was finished in about 1783 and served as the home for the 9,000 acre plantation. Tobacco was the cash crop. I suspect that was the case all around Maryland. It was a difficult photographic shot with the blackberry as the backlight and direct sunlight was significantly affecting the setup. The is no was to use increased exposure values as with many good digital and SLR cameras. So an old trick was needed. Note my hand in the top right corner to shade the lens.
