Chained Melody


Cemetery of the Old Chateau:

    In the shadow, rust is disappearing, and the chain seems to be as young as at the beginning..

    Looks like a lovely place Jilly, hope to see more. Quietly rusting away there... Is there still an old chateau nearby ?

    Owen, no there isn't an old chateau nearby - not anymore. This is in the cemetery which is called the Cemetery of the Old Chateau because there used, once, forever ago, to be a chateau there. This cemetery is above the old town. The dead always look down on the living in France, don't they? Thanks for the visit.

    Cezanne's quotation fits the photo perfectly - he was a master of light and shadow of course.

    I love the close up, so much to enjoy but I always like the smaller shot that gives us a sense of the whole picture.
