Lovely vineyard with the hills close by. The leaves came up in wonderful colors. The vineyards here, Salinas Valley, basically just go brown in the fall.

Beautiful wine country, love the mountains, absolutely gorgeous. Have heard a lot about California wines and I'm sure my wife would love to visit these fascinating vineyards. Excellent picture Stephen, really a beautiful composition.

@John Maslowski: Thanks so very much - and it is good hearing from you, John. This has been such a busy time for me - I feel guilty spending time at Aminus3 but really enjoy the community we've developed. Cheers. Onward...

Francesc B. from région parisienne, France

I like these different fall colors on the vineyards... not at the same time... Every vine has a different maturity from its leaves and it's a beautiful contrast..

@Francesc B.: Thank you, Francesc - what always amazes me is the long period of lush color you see in this region.
