My wife and I recently got to enjoy a trip to Monticello (Charlottesville, VA). I'm really new to photography at this level...I'm using a new Canon 60d with the kit 18-135 lens, all handheld...so this is mostly experimental and some playing with Lightroom 4.

Not just a reflection pool, but actually used by T. J. to store fish alive that were caught nearby until ready for the table.

Excellent photos of Monticello, and I enjoyed the tour when I visited a couple of years ago.

Thanks for the comments folks, and philo, you are correct! The pics could be confusing from that perspective. We were told not to take any pics inside the home, and so I did not. The telescope picture was taken from the museum where we were allowed to photograph. And there was some really cool stuff in there.

My bad. After looking at the telescope it didn't look like it was inside the house.
We took more images in the garden then anywhere else.

All are great photos. I visited there in 1951, a long time back. Still looks the same..
