Each of these is so beautiful, but I think my favorite is that brilliant pop of purple in the single cluster of grapes. Such gorgeous country. You are so lucky to be having this experience and we are so lucky that you share it with us!

brattcat is right: every single shot is nice, but the lonely bunch of dark grapes is a little masterpiece!

Anya said...

That region is famous for his grapes for wine & champagne !!
And French bread with cheese and chocolate for dessert :)))
LOL

I hope you had a great time there
;)

You make unique snapshots (@^.^@)

Omigod! I've heard so much about this area, but have never seen photos of it.

And what wonderful photos...I can almost taste those grapes! What's so nice about your pictures is that each one gives a very unique portrait of the area...I am most entranced by the picnic table in the woods...

Merci beaucoup!

this made me remember the film a walk in the clouds with the grapes =)

The buildings possess its own distinct old European cultural heritage in architectural design.

The autumn colour of the trees looks like a pastel palette and the farm is green and serene highlighted by a thin mist.

Pretty sight to behold. A picture of peace and meditation.

You are HERE.

Thanks for the visit.

The scenery is so lovely! And the grapes look so fat and juicy! I do hope that you'll be able to go back there soon. It must be even more beautiful in Spring!
