Lego Castles

This is a very late post, but I attended a strange lego festival a few weeks ago. It was just outside of New York in a small town with the lovely name of Tarrytown. Shown on the map below.

(don't you just love google maps?)

It was set in a castle that is such a good resemblance to a lego castle, a committed user of Danish brickware once created a lego version and presented it to the castle.

To commemorate the building of such a house a yearly lego festival was initiated.

Above is the real one, not the lego one.

It was mainly full of kids creations, but there were a few interesting bits and pieces in there. In particular I liked the portraits made from a version of Lego pointillism.

Strange place, quite a long way away, fairly expensive to get to (train and taxi) and get back from, but certainly an interesting New York experience. More photos below:
