Here's another staircase in the Château de Chambord. It's much less grand than the double-helix central stair, but no less impressive.
I think the stone work is beautiful. Chambord, July 2013.
Our neighbor, the mayor, stopped by yesterday and gave us a bag of figs from her tree. She and her husband are leaving today to spend a couple of weeks at their vacation home down south and, she said, the figs would just be devoured by birds if she left them on the tree. We're happy to have them. I think I'll freeze them whole for use later in the fall.
Kind of the mayor! That staircase would look stunning in your home.
ReplyDeleteSummer time visitors bearing fruit are always welcome. Did your fig tree produce any edible figs this year?

mitch, and it would cost more than the house is worth. ;)
ReplyDeleteevelyn, yes, we got more than we ever have. Still not a whole lot, but better than nothing.
