Wow, you have really done a spectacular job here. I really love your page on these homes. Where I live, there are homes for the ultra rich, the doing OK, and everyone from movie stars to druggies, and the homeless. It's really got a very widely varied mix. If I could get into some of the properties in my area, I could really get some fantastic shots, too.
Hmmm, maybe I can get some decent photos of at least the outside of their property. Some of the houses (mansions) are close enough to get pictures, but many are hidden in the hills, and behind groves of trees.
