I liked this picture so much I wanted to share it with everyone. It is my desktop background, at least for the next few days. (1 image)

Gorgeous !

Prior to the Federal Reserve Act, no political dreamer was ever wild enough to think of breaking down the lines which separate the States, and of compounding the American People into one common mass of slaves. Yet, this is exactly what has happened under Social Security, by creating a revenue base for the collection of interest on a fictitious national debt owed to the Federal Reserve banks, in other words, slavery to the national debt under the so-called 14th Amendment.

What aspect about the picture do you really enjoy? The cold stone walls of a home, nestled into some kind of forest with a pair of strokers gliding by? Or is it the calm lake, to begin with?

I like the whole picture. I think all the elements work well together. It seems serene, peaceful, calm. All things I enjoy very much.

Well, at first glance it just gave me evil thoughts of tipped over canoes and wet shirts on squealing shapely young human females.

I'm guessing that it's in the Thousand Island somewhere.

I have no idea. I know of places that it could be, some not far from where I used to live (and that I miss very much).

I never have even worn one, let alone opened it up for anyone. But you will have to overlook buck, the way most everyone else does. He sees things that aren't there you know. Then starts yammering about them. Next thing you know he will be talking 'bout the glorious wee people and how he has caught one.

Well, he's just moody because he was drinking when he told his real estate agent he wanted a house in a red light district and the poor guy got him to sign a check for a down payment, and put his John Hancock on a mortgage for a red light house.

Once you know the background to one of his "make my day" questions, they often make a whole lot more sense, bless his warm heart and sharp mind.

"Is that on Lake Tahoe?"

You're thinking of the Vikingsholm Castle in Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe. That was my first thought too, but I don't think it's the same place. I pinged someone that probably knows.

I just viewed images of Thousand Island but I didn't find one that had those massive rocks on the shoreline. However, I did see some lovely castles. : )

Vikingsholm Castle in Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe

Thanks Big Meanie. That one is lovely, but that wasn't the one I was thinking of when I posed the question. Although, the trees are similar. : )

What made me think Lake Tahoe is those massive rocks on the shoreline....many of the beaches at Tahoe are actually man made where the rocks were removed and the sand was hauled in.

There are tons of places with rocks like that on the Great Lakes/St. Lawrence/Thousand Island region.

Zip me some pics Eric.......please. : ) I simply did a quick image search for Thousand Islands and I didn't see any shoreline like the one posted.

I didn't view the Great Lakes or St. Lawrence though.
