Presque trop beau pour être vrai!

Beautiful building, taken with lovely reflections.

Thanks Jaap, indeed, the weather was on my side that day!!

Quel bel ensemble!!!!!****

Merci Nouchet, un des beaux châteaux de la Mayenne.

Beautiful images I prefer the second one, the dovecotes were very unpopular because the birds ate everyones crops, one I went in had a revolving ladder to reach all the nesting holes

Thanks Peter. I think in these times they used the pigeons for their fine flesh and their dung but also to carry messages; and probably this mail function made the pigeon an instrument of power! The seigniorial and royal messengers of these times monopolized the right of possession of dovecote, and probably did not care about the peasant's complaints further to the birds eating the crops!!!

...und so wunderbare Farben in der Stille! ********

Danke Lothar, freut mich, dass du die Stille hören konntest - genauso war es nämlich !

sì, troppo bello per essere vero:-)
Ma lo è: e tu l'hai fotografato in modo così suggestivo evocandone l'atmosfera che sembra fuori dal tempo( amo molto anche i due Pips).

Penso che sia giusto far pagare un biglietto d'ingresso in questi parchi e meravigliose antiche residenze se sono mantenute e curate in modo così ineccepibile: costa un occhio della testa !:-)

Grazie Beatrice. Sì, costa certamente una fortuna mantenere queste grandi proprietà. Eppure, alcuni parchi sono accessibili gratuitamente, questo è il caso qui. Puoi passeggiare ovunque, con splendide viste sul castello sulla sua isola. (Ma c'è solo UN PiP ;-))

What a beautiful view to the castle. I like the reflection. The PiP is great too.

Thanks Susanne, there was a wonderful light that afternoon which brightened the colours.

Ein wunderbarer Anblick und die Spiegelung in dem ruhigen See, einmalig schön.

Danke Reyk. Durch das wunderbare Wetter an diesem Tag waren die Farben so richtig schön "fett", das Bild ist original, ohne jegliche Bearbeitung.

Hi Christa

J'aime vraiment ça

Superbes couleurs et un beau reflet.

La clôture fonctionne bien en tant que "puissant objet de premier plan"

Super composition!

Meilleurs voeux, HFF et bon week-end
Peter

Merci Peter. Et j'aime aussi les feuilles d'automne au premier plan, devant la chaîne, qui joue au cache-cache avec la lumière du soleil...

I like the fence as a lead-in, Christa, nice point of view as well.

Thanks Frank, you're right, it might have been a good contribution last Friday...

Magnifique château !

Merci Misou, tu le connais peut-être ? Pas très loin de l'Anjou, en Mayenne.

Non je ne le connais pas ! Mais je vais repérer l'endroit où il se trouve et je pourrai peut être le visiter .

Misou, en "temps normal" (hors journées du patrimoine) on ne peut visiter que le parc. Mais cela vaut le coup.

Beautifully composed and captured Christa. An attractive castle and great reflections. I love the scattering of Autumn leaves too. Great colours

Thank you, Carol, I'm glad you mentioned the scattering of autumn leaves, because when I took the picture, I deliberately chose that very location for the leaves playing hide and seek in the sun...

Beautifully composed and captured
