Washington Irving's Hudson Valley
Go to the link below to explore Washington Irving's Hudson Valley
I Think That Washington Irving Idea Of The Sunny side was Very Intelligent and talented he did not only use his skills to suite himself but to attract others.
I think Washington Irving's Sunnyside draws a more warming feeling to it by how it is located near the water, compared to the other manors, estate, and church I was taking a look at.
I watched the video clip and I realized the named Ichabod Crane. I was once watching Disney movies and the headless horseman chased him all around the woods until he crossed the bridge that was mentioned in video clip.
I think Washington Irving sunnyside was interesting and different the way he used his imagination making everything seem so peaceful and wonderful especially with it being near the water.
Washington was a very talented and well organized man . He was romantic and had a beautiful environment "the Irving sunnyside" this is very beautiful and it will attract many people.
Washington wasn't only a great author, he also had a great imagination which helped him to create such a gorgeous landscape that is still around today for others to view.
Now this information was far better then the video clip and gave me more significant details about Irving and his philosophies. I also learned that he resided in where we are now, New York, during the mid-1800s.
Washington Irving was a very creative man who was thought of to have been romantic. Washington was the first American internationally famous author who had many interesting stories.

I see that Irving was quite brilliant for using such a peaceful and relaxing area and turn it to the center of an amazing horror story. His way of writing is quite unique and may somewhat be hard to understand but it makes it more exciting for the reader to depict his writing
Washington Irving was a very creative man within his work. It interest me that he used certain things to create these wonderful stories he's " genius".
Washington Irving is well known for his characters that have stood the test of time. It is very enchanting how he expressed his romanticism in both his books and his home.
