OK long time since an update, so here we are with "The western face of the graceful arches of Chateau de Chenonceau reflected in the gentle waters of the River Cher. The grand Florentine gallery was added by Catherine de Médicis. Loire Valley, France." It's a standard shot of this chateau, yes, but you can also see why. The famous gallery which extends across the river though is actually pretty empty which is somewhat of a surprise. Apparently it was used as an escape route between Vichy and German controlled France.
Sunset brought great light and also a reduction in crowds and boats on the river. Well worth the visit, though I remember they charge you through the nose for it...
