The back view reminds me of a Southern plantation, back in the days before the

Emancipation Proclamation. Can almost see the owner and his wife sipping mint

juleps on the verandah while the slaves...ERRRRR!!!...domestic help work the

fields!

Alot of houses up that way are like that, so it didn't surprise me. This

Tibetan Buddhist place is the same look in the same area:

It was bought from a former US Congressman if I recall, by a group of

newagers-turned Buddhists in the late 90's. The American woman was named a

tulku by the same leader that named Steven Seagal a tulku (reincarnated Buddha).

I could tell then that they were heavily into New Age and that the grounds

weren't being kept up while tons of money was spent on building stupas and other

extraneous things. Years later I was proven right when a book came out about

Jetsuma, telling of monks/nuns having affairs, of Jetsuma herself taking a $150K

annual salary and having a lesbian affair with her gym trainer. At least she

admitted defeat by cooperating with that book's author.
