Sologne is a land of woods and ponds, and very wellknown for hunting.The pools and marshes which are characteristic of the region are due to the impermeability of its soil, which is a mixture of sand and clay.

The very famous "Château de Chambord" is in the area of "la Sologne", but there are a great number of little castles like this one, the château of Nançay often built with bricks and stone edges.

"Il est un air pour qui je donnerais
Tout Rossini, tout Mozart et tout Weber
Un air tres vieux , languissant et funèbre
Qui pour moi seul a des charmes secrets.

Or chaque fois que je viens à l'entendre
De deux cents ans mon âme rajeunit
C'est sous Louis XIII et je crois voir s'étendre
Un côteau vert que le couchant jaunit.

Puis un château de brique à coins de pierre
Aux vitraux teints de rougeâtres couleurs
Ceint de grand parc, avec une rivière
Baignant ses pieds, qui coule entre des fleurs,

Puis une dame à sa haute fenêtre
Blonde aux yeux noirs en ses habits anciens,
Que dans une autre existence peut-être
J'ai déjà vue et dont je me souviens "
Gérard de Nerval

salut Henri,

a great shot.. the architecture looks so rich and ancient with fanatstic details and definitely the color conversion is a wow idea here and it adds this "Mood" to the overall composition, the sky is pretty intense and dark and your POV is simply outstanding.. this is certainly brilliant accompanied by a great note, meaningful words and work:)

Ciao. Vanda

Ciao Henri, fascinating composition with splendid castle, great B&W conversion, wonderful atmosphere, very well done, ciao Silvio

Bonsoir Henri,
Après avoir enlevé mes compresses de camomille ;) que vois-je...un château de conte de fées!
Le ton bleuté de cette photo lui donne l'air de provenir d'un vieux livre de contes, de mélanger le rêve et la réalité, le passé et le présent comme Nerval d'ailleurs!
Très romantique.
Compliments!
Béa
