Azay-le-Rideau

Azay-le-Rideau

Azay-le-Rideau, described as a jewel on the river Indre, I think it looks better on the outside than inside. It feels quite small but from the river side it looks very good, the water is so still that you can get good reflections. This photo was taken late, late afternoon when the light was golden, being very considerate, the architect obvioulsy positioned the building to receive the western afternoon sunlight on the river side. Trees frame it quite nicely and the boat leads you in. This angle also reduces the likelihood of other tourists getting into the shot.
