Pictures Taken On The First Morning.

[poliphilo]

Here are some pictures I took the first morning in Duingt.

This is the chateau. There was an 11th century castle- of which a single tower remains. The building in the photo is mainly from the 18th and 19th centuries. Cezanne painted it.



This is a view looking up the lake- in a roughly southerly direction



And this is the view across the lake from Duignt's village square. The pollarded lime trees are typical of the region. We had one in our back yard.

That is an amazing tree. It looks like candelabra or a dancer.

Those trees are everywhere. The patterning of the trunks is extraordinary too- it's so precise it looks as if it had been painted on.
