The tower is the Heublein Tower. "Gilbert Heublein was a magnate in the area of food and beverage, most notably as manufacturer of A1 Steak Sauce and Smirnoff Vodka; he founded Heublein Inc. While hiking with his fiance Louise M. Gundlach on Talcott Mountain, he promised her that one day he would build her a castle there." Source: Wikipedia

And he kept his promise. In the scheme of things, it is miniscule. Image to ponder. V

Nicely composed with the lighting on the tower and its placement in the frame. "V"

A lovely bit of light on this magical tower. I'd love to walk over the hill and see the rest of the castle. V
