Sully with carbon fibre rod

    Sully is the town in the Loire valley, France, with this beautiful chateau. The lake is obviously stocked with fish as witnessed by this angler with the long rod.
    (Whenever I see people with such a long rod, I always wonder, "why doesn't he just go round to the other side?")

      89? Oops.
      But it's a beautiful photo...and very nice reflections.

      Why Oops? I've been taking photos for 50 years! ;-)

      It's scanned from a slide.

      Can one easily get 'round to the other side? How large is the lake?

      It's beautiful... the angler's jumper really adds to it!

      EtterVor: Not very large, the Chateau stands about 50metres above the Loire, and so this was an artificial lake. IIRC, there was a bridge a few yards behind me, and we had walked up from the chateau.
