Wow!!!!!!!
I W-A-N-T that island.

Lovely photo. The reflections really make the shot.

That house is on Mosquito Island in Eel Bay just off Wellsldy Island State Park. I always loved that little island. It used to have a run down shack on it, but someone built the present one about eight years ago. Nice pic--thanks for the memories.

What happens when the water rises? Fabulous shot!
Denise J. Johnson25-Apr-2008 15:46
Yup, definitely decadence. What a great view!

Taxes are high on beach front property. This is totally beach front.

Is the basement dry?
J. Scott Coile24-Apr-2008 23:18
Looks like a wet access ;-)
Barry S Moore24-Apr-2008 23:15
Great statement. Islands belong to the public. ~V~
Barbara Heide24-Apr-2008 22:36
decadent? posh!
virginiacoastline24-Apr-2008 19:55
I was thinking the same thing as I drove around some of the VERY afflluent areas here . . .all that STUFF
Phillip Normanton24-Apr-2008 19:35
Decadence indeed - wouldn't mind though ;-)
Jola Dziubinska24-Apr-2008 18:30
Do they have a drawbridge as well?
Pat Shawyer24-Apr-2008 17:38
Great find !
Marco Valk24-Apr-2008 17:22
I don't see a car in the driveway!
Dan Chusid24-Apr-2008 16:37
My dream home!
royalld24-Apr-2008 14:44
Great shot... I bet that island was bigger when that house was built.
CreativeWiseGal24-Apr-2008 14:01
Original! Great capture - I love the reflection which subtly doubles the decadence.
Victoria24-Apr-2008 13:30
Beautiful view
Guest 24-Apr-2008 12:08
I guess cost depends on when it was built. Would certainly make running out for milk late at night a little more difficult. :) Nice find.
Jonathan Popp24-Apr-2008 11:30
I'd be afraid of a drunken boater hiting it.
Máire Uí Mhaicín24-Apr-2008 11:22
A home for the Greta Garbo type who wants to be alone??
Guest 24-Apr-2008 10:58
i would this as a summer home...
Jean-Luc Rollier24-Apr-2008 10:27
Beautiful shack! Great shot ! JL V
monica memoli24-Apr-2008 10:27
Beautiful shot. v
Sheila24-Apr-2008 10:25
Fantastic shot. Pretty incredible really.
What gets me is who decides who owns an island like that, and why/how do they own it.
Guest 24-Apr-2008 09:31
Great shot. Love the symmetry of your composition.
Heidi Jonker24-Apr-2008 07:29
I like your interpretation. Beautyful scene.
Luca Zanoni24-Apr-2008 06:32
Love It. V
Guest 24-Apr-2008 05:00
Love your entry.
Piet & Elsabé Enslin24-Apr-2008 04:44
Looks like a sinking island
Norbert Fortelny24-Apr-2008 04:26
Very interesting.
Would like to be there for a while!
wendy beard24-Apr-2008 04:13
Had to smile - I had exactly the same thoughts as you when I saw this monstrosity on the other side of the river

This is fantastic!
Cindi Smith24-Apr-2008 03:50
I'm betting it won't weather a huge storm! At least they can have parties without the neighbors complaining! And, no one will be driving home after a few drinks!
Laura Sebastianelli24-Apr-2008 03:48
nuff said! except that this is a gorgeous shot!
Fred Gary24-Apr-2008 03:45
Great capture, I bet it gets flooded every spring.
BleuEvanescence24-Apr-2008 03:09
Oh... and You should check the size of the island Céline owns in the north shore of MOntréal... ;))
BleuEvanescence24-Apr-2008 03:07
Indeed.... Beautiful entry
