Photographer’s Note

Here is a picture taken yesterday in the St Hubert Chapel of the castle of Amboise.

The royal Castle at Amboise is a castle located in Amboise, in the Indre-et-Loire département of the Loire Valley in France.

Built on a promontory overlooking the Loire River to control a strategic ford that was replaced in the Middle Ages by a bridge, the ccastle began this life in the eleventh century.

As a guest of the King, Leonardo da Vinci came to the castle of Amboise in December 1515 and lived and worked in the nearby Clos Lucé, connected to the château by an underground passage. Tourists are told that he is buried in the Chapel of Saint-Hubert, adjoining the Château, which had been built in 1491–1496.

Since 1840, the castle of Amboise has been listed as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture. Today, the present "comte de Paris", descendant of Louis-Philippe king, repairs and maintains the castle through the Fondation Saint-Louis.

This shot has been made with my 10-20mm lens with 3 differents expositions shots at 800 ISO.

I hope you'll like the result.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

PS: Sorry to not be very present the last two months in TE but I was very busy professionnaly.

Regards.
