Winter Wonderland

My backyard after the 'Blizard' (20" of snow). This is not a from a pana camera, but 3 pictures combined using something called Autostitch. It can take as many pictures as you want and combine them into 1 big one. It's really cool. Anyone else ever try this?

That is pretty cool. Very seamless.

Nice backyard. Go jump in the river, I dare you.

Nice lot. Looks like the stereotypical, Connecticut spread we all hear and read about and see in the movies.

Really....NICE PLACE and I'm going on instinct here since there are no pics of the house. Are the places on the other side of the river/creek typical of the area?

Pablo

For this particular area, it's really not that typical. I got really luck buying this house (it's worth twice what I paid for it 5 years ago). I'm in the city of Stamford (population of about 150,000). I'm about 2 miles from downtown. Xerox's headquarters is about 1/4 mile away. It looks like I'm in the middle of nowhere, but I have everything I need less than 1/2 mile away (gas stations, deli's, pizza, kinkos, tower records, supermarket, hardware, electronics, ect...). Right behind those houses is the Merrit Parkway. If you head to north Stamford, most of the houses are like you see here. I'm also only 45 mins from NYC.

On the left is a neighbors property (and another to the right you can't see). It's a dead end street with only 8 house (and a power switching station at the end so they can't expand it).

I usually build a sled run down the left side, but haven't gotten to it yet (we ride those snow tubes). I build a huge banked turn at the bottom before the river. My brother in law actually wanted to try and skim accross the river on a double tub (he had way to many beers), but luckly I was able to talk him out of it.

One of my largest distributors is located in Stamford/Cos Cob. It's a beautiful area.

I love your place, picture pefect (no pun intended)!

Nice picture and beautiful place; I was in Stamford a couple of years ago for a couple days at the Clairol plant and loved the place. Too bad I hear housing keeps going up on that area beacuse of being so close to NYC...
