These flowers were floating in a decorative bowl inside one of the regal bedchambers inside of the Chateau de Chenonceau in France. The black darkness of the water contrasts with the reflection of the light on the snow-white petals.

Still playing with Lightroom and sorting photos. This is from our trip to France with our friends in May 2014. Our friends were walking ahead and I got this shot. The French kitchen gardens (jardin potager) are every bit as beautiful as they are practical!

Spectacular setting for a chateau spanning the river Cher, Chenonceau is perhaps my favorite of the four I visited this trip. Diane de Poitiers obviously knew a good thing when she saw it... as did Catherine de Medici who reposessed it upon the death of Henry.

Le château de Chenonceau, sur le Cher en Touraine (région Centre, France). Ce château de la Loire fut bâti par Thomas Bohier et son épouse Katherine Briçonnet, mais c’est à Catherine de Médicis que l’on doit les galeries sur la rivière.
Chenonceau castle, on the Cher river. Built in 1513 by Thomas Bohier and his wife, Katherine Briçonnet. It was notably extended by Diane de Poitier who added a bridge over the Cher (left bottom part) and by Catherine de Médicis who covered it with a gallery, giving that very recognisable shape to the castle, and an access to it from both banks of the Cher.
