Grape harvest The grapes on "our" hill were harvested this past weekend.

Oh My. I never saw a hill loaded with grape vines. It is quite attractive. I thought it was a bunch of large trees in wooden buckets made to transport them somewhere. Like from a nursery to the new owners property.

It's nice to hear from you Abe. Your comment made me look through my old photos of the vineyards and I realized that in many of the close-up shots it is indeed impossible to tell that the vines are on a slope. Here are links to some of my old posts for those who might be interested:

That is a beautiful picture and like Abe, I've never seen this before either!

Great picture of the hillside - makes you wonder for a bit as to what you are looking at. Thanks for the tour of previous posts! Love the one with a red, red car - a Citroen?
I didn't realize you had such a steep hillside too. One of our Swiss friends had a family vineyard in I think Shaffhausen. I still have an empty bottle (no. 251 of 300?) of the vine he made for his wedding. I'm off to refresh my memory.

White or red grappes ?
I like very much your previous post. was the cow going to the city ?

Yes, indeed, those shots do show better that the vines are growing on a steep hillside. Thanks for showing me those. I appreciate it.

Love the composition as well as the situation.
