Definitely a wall hanger Santiago. The more I look at it the more I appreciate the composition - there's so much going on in spite of the static nature of the landscape itself. Very nice all the way around.

Thanks a lot Allan. Feels indeed like discovering that region again...

Just gorgeous, Santiago! I love it. My only teeensy nit would be that dark pole in the middle right and what appears to be a white van on the road. Seeing such overt encroachments of humanity in the midst of such bucolic splendor is a bit jarring.
All the best,
Endre
Thank you kindly, Endre. I too thought a long time about the two items you mention. I eventually decided I should keep them because they are linked to the scene here. The pole because it brings telephone and electricity, across the wood and to the village (you can see the road leading to it). The parked van, because it brought the people who were harvesting the last grapes

Many thanks, Sonja. This has been there for quite many generations, indeed.
The Chardonnay there is most excellent, crisp with delicate acidity. It helps one cope with the weight of Tradition
