This is a window at the Château de Chaumont on the Loire. The castle sits, as most do, high on a bluff overlooking the river. Strategic views and all that. Chaumont is roughly fifteen kilometers up river from Amboise and about twenty-five kilometers from where we live.
Little coats of arms in stained glass. Scanned color slide, Chaumont-sur-Loire, October 2000.
The holiday tree is up, and the lights are on, but I haven't hung any ornaments yet. That will be for today. We're expecting a stretch of dry days, so I hope to get out and get some of the last yard work done.
The quality of slides. Can't beat it. And we're supposed to have rain this afternoon!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I like those windows!
ReplyDeleteThe window looks like it's the bottom of a stack of wine bottles.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Jean. ;)
DeleteI have several paperweights that look like the circles in those windows. They were formed as outtakes from glass blowing, and for me were intended for use in the days when you needed something to hold down galley proofs while reading them.
ReplyDeletemitch, did you see that the NE US is going to have a lot of snow?
ReplyDeletejudy, :)
