Description
The enchanting Chillon Castle (Chateau de Chillon) nestles subtly on the shores of Lake Geneva and has the snow capped Alps as a backdrop. Historically inspirational for artists, poets and writers, including Lord Byron, this romantic fortress on the water has occupied an island all of it's own since the 12th Century. Set in an idyllic location, complete with vivid red turrets, ramparts, a moat and a variety of myths and legends, it has everything a castle should have. I blended textures with my original photograph to achieve a painterly style which I felt suited the old world feel of the image.
