Chateau de Villandry gardens – 1000 up

This nice picture taken on an Ensign Selfix 420 with Fuji Velvia 120 film has achieved 1000 views on Flickr: yay (for my oldest survivng camera)!

Vase face

Can you see the face?

It’s difficult to see in a large picture

Does this help?

Chateau du Lude trees

Chateau du Lude and Rousham

A very English chateau (well the gardens are) on the banks of the Loir; the statues and riverside setting remind me of Rousham in Oxfordshire.

Perhaps they should be twinned.

Flowers and trees at Chenonceau

I rather like the live cut flowers against the backdrop of the tapestry trees.
