Here's a column, or part of one, on one of the many local, and lesser known, châteaux in our region. Which one? I'm not sure. I'll get back to you. Maybe... Ok, did it. I believe it's the Château de Troussay.
It's the beautifully sculpted capital of an engaged (built into the wall) column.
Another ten degree morning. Outside. I think I'll need a scarf and a knit cap when I go out for the morning walk. Brrr!
I’ve been admiring this kind of work all over Córdoba recently. Such craftsmanship. It was 17C when I woke up here. SG would be whining at 10.
ReplyDeleteMitchell, I read that as, “ It was 17th century when I woke up this morning” (I thought, “How poetic! And SG was stuck, in his mind, in the 9th century.” Ha!

DeleteI suppose it isn’t that odd coming from our house!
An engaged column! I did not know that term. Thank you! How is that said in French?
ReplyDelete10C sounds positively arctic
ReplyDeletemitch, I wear long johns when the outdoor temp gets to 5ºC or less.
ReplyDeletejudy, colonne engagée ou encastrée.
michael, especially this time of year when we're not yet accustomed.
