Winter vineyard

Winter vineyard
Here, high up in the mountains of Cyprus we catch a glimpse of their famous vineyards. At the moment the temperature is only 10C here but in August, 40C is the norm. As can be seen, the weather can become a bit unpredictable in February. Behind me is a big drop back to the SW coastline.

This shot makes me smile - I see a whole bunch of manic people running downhill waving their arms :-))

The shapes of those grapevines are fascinating Herb.........the more you look the more you imagine. Each one has a separate personality!

The diffused light is quite lovely and I love the earthy colour palette. Unusual, but I really like it!

Hi Keith. Your comments always make me smile too. I had in fact noticed a comical look to all this too but you have framed those thoughts beautifully here. Like you I liked this sift lighting too. Rain was in the air! Glad you liked it.

It is a surprising land, Herb.
I worked there in 1976 and their own soul was Hybrid, half Greek and half . . . History ?
The small fishing villages west of Limassol were a beauty .
I like your picture, it has the unpredictable character I felt then . . .

Thanks for this thoughtful comment Jose. Yes Cyprus is a land of surprises and character for sure. I have been to Cyprus now three times but I felt the area that we went to this time, although most beautiful was also the most spoilt by modern housing development. So it is...

Eine sehr surrealistische Aufnahme Herb. Wie kleine Monster, de den Himmel nach Sonne anflehen.

Fabulous image Herb, looks almost un-real but I'm sure all is working beneath the soil.

Yes my friend, I have seen other vineyards like this in the Winter and they seem to continue to produce good grapes year on year all the same.

Cheers, Herb

Great to see you enjoying this one Diana. We have drunk had quite a lot of Cyprus wine many years back but don't see as much of it now.

Cheers, Herb
