Photographer’s Note
The castle of the "Roche Jagu" was built at the XV century on the ruins of a fortress which overhung Trieux' river.
In 1405, Catherine de Troguindy builds the manor on the site of a fortress ruined by the war of succession. Dominating the river it is an excellent site of monitoring. It is also the residence of a family of high row. The frontage which accomodates the visitors opens on a court and terraces, it is made of gilded granite, opening of many windows but of only one door in gothic arch. Wrought iron grids protect the openings from the ground floor; the first stage is lit by mullioned windows, that of the high room is noticed by its sculptures of Gothic style; the second stage has four openings in warhead, old doors which opened on a coursière who does not exist today any more, and of the quadrangular windows. Eleven attic windows and nineteen octagonal chimneys decorated at the top, animate the roof. A turret reduces this frontage

Bonsoir Georgy,
Beau point de vue sur ce château, avec ce parvis circulaire au premier plan et ce chemin qui nous mène à l'entrée du château. Un beau ciel d'orage également. J'ai un peu l'impression que ça manque de netteté.
Amicalement,
Olivier

Interesting shot of this unusual castle. Your POV shows many of its architectural features. The sky in the background is dramatic, and despite the difficult lighting you have maintained good color and sharpness. Well done.

Hello Georgy.
I recognised the chateau from the thumbnail - I visited it last year in June on a very wet and dark day, but enjoyed the visit. I like the colour and light in your photo, and the view along the footpath, also the tree in the top left corner. Perhaps it could be a little sharper, but nice shot from this delightful part of France.
Regards,
Andrew
