You get to see Chambord's ornate chimneys up close from the castle's rooftop terraces. I read in Wikipedia that the château has 282 fireplaces. Not surprising, given the size of the place. All that smoke had to go somewhere.
Chimneys at Chambord, July 2013.
I slept much better last night than the night before. And I woke up with a few more mosquito bites than I had before bedtime. Reader Mitchell mentioned anti-mosquito plug-ins in a comment yesterday. That reminded me that I have a couple of those, so I dug them out and plugged one in. After a while, my sleepy self wondered if I had it right side up or upside down. I couldn't figure it out in the dark, so I unplugged it. In the light of morning I figured it out. I had it upside down.
That photo is stunning. But curse you, Red Barron! I can't get chim chim cher-ee out of my head.
ReplyDeleteHa! It's such fun having you and Walt spouting these things from our shared childhood era.

Wow! That’s a beautiful photo. All those marvelous details!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the up close and personal shot of the chimneys! Maybe the architect (s) had a game going..."hey, I figured out how to add several on each chimney! Can you match that?"
ReplyDeletemitch, just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.
