This is part of an ongoing set of Chateau Chenonceau which I took on my last visit to France in Sept 2011. . This fairytale chateau Chenonceau was built on the River Cher and owes a lot of its charm to women. Built in 1513AD by Katherine Briconnet , then made more attractive by Diane de Poitiers, then made famous by Catherine de Medici.

taken with a Lumix G2 using a 45- 200mm zoom Four Thirds lens with a touch of hdr.
Gorgeous shot Larry! The sky colors are amazing and make it look more magical and like a fairytale for sure. Lovely lovely work… would love to visit there indeed. Looks beautiful in the black matte as well. Blessings – jane
Thanks for those kind words. In actual fact the clouds have been slightly enhanced due to the limited amount of HDR that I do with my images…. But they did have the colour in the m to start with. It sure was a magical day. And even with all of us tourists around, I still managed to get a few good shots without any humans in the frame… Stay safe my friend.

We all look at things differently,
And yes, from this angle it does but from the other end it’s nothing like it.
