Pictures from a Sunset Stroll Along Newport's Famous Cliff Walk

These pictures from my May 2005 visit to Newport, Rhode Island, provide a glimpse of the seaside city's most popular free attraction: the Cliff Walk.

As the sun began to set, the imposing mansions along the Cliff Walk were cloaked in shadows. Still, The Breakers, the 70-room palazzo designed by Richard Morris Hunt for Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, is magnificent and impressive.
