Even More Photos of Chateau Chillon
Based on the popularity of my previous post on the subject, I thought it only right to play to the audience and deliver some further views of the wondrous Chateau Chillon. The first shot, above, was taken on one of those lovely days where the mountains seem to come so much closer. The Dents du Midi, near the skiing resort of Champery, are visible here.
This shot shows just what amazing skies can be seen, although I suspect a bit of filtering or photoshopping has taken place. Whatever, it’s beautiful and a great shot.
It’s worth a trip in winter too. Old buildings look great with a light coating of frost, or even snow.
Just to show how civilized we Europeans are, take a look at this torture chamber… Hopefully not used any more, not even if you try to sneak in without paying.
I guarantee that if you go to Chillon, you will take a photo like this. Assuming you remember your camera of course…
This last shot shows Chillon from Montreux. It’s a very pleasant walk along the lakeside, and if you get tired it’s easy to get a train, or boat, back.
