Rhode Island is a state in New England region of the United States.It is the smallest state in the U.S by area.Rhode island borders Connecticut to the West and Massachusetts to the north and east.Rhode island was the first of the thirteen original colonies to declare independence from British rule.
Newport Rhode Island Mansions / The Gilded Age Mansions of Newport :Unlike no other place in the world,Newport offers a glimpse into a lifestyle that is difficult to imagine.The Newport "summer cottages" as they were referred to often took several years to construct and were lived in for just six weeks of the year.Craftsman from Europe were enlisted and relocated to Newport for the construction process.We toured the Mansions,through the cliff-walk.We also got to look at the interiors of one of the mansions where the flower show was conducted.We drove.The best part of Newport was the cliff walk.I learnt to shoot the night lights in manual mode from my hubby.Amazing DSLR(Love Nikon).I feel motivated with the amazing quality of the photos just with a little extra effort.
