Gary, the wine country shot is beautiful. I could live there forever. The drive along those valleys must be enjoyable as well.

Gary, I miss driving the Wine Country 
and where it goes when it comes to Goa.   A friend's temperature controlled wine storage at his restaurant.  You sure do not want room temperature wine here 
Shot last night with Sony a7II, 55 1.8  The staff keep that plate glass clean

While we are at wine as topic.

I like your last one a lot, Anirban,  mostly the contrast between the precise drawing on the fabric and the softness of the hand.

Keeping the bottle but with another content than wine. From the brunch this morning.
I forgot to change the non-cpu lens data so exif is incorrect. In fact 50/1.4 AI-S at f5.6

Buenas Dias Daily Updaters!  It is foggy today. Oddly, when Cookie (the pooch and my best friend) retrieved the newspaper this morning it was clear as a bell.  But an hour later the fog started rolling in, casting everything in grayness.

@ Airnban- The color images all tell a great story and capture some of the spirit of the event, the B&W not-so-much.

My wine country photos are from Temecula, not as old, bountiful or uniformly as delish as Napa or Sonoma. But it also only an hour+ drive away from home. If you search enough you'll discover a jewel here and a jewel there. The discovery part is half the fun.

@ Tommy- I don't think that anything in India would truly surprise me ... But I've never seen such a well stocked wine fridge in my travels to Asia.  But the times, they are a changing.

@ Bruno-

Today I took a lot of shots with my soul. Wonderful light at mass today. Because I served as an acolyte I was not supposed to, neither wanted to wear a camera.

It was a festive service with a renowned flute player accompaining the organ. Festive because one of our priest had his 50th anniversary of ordination. A funny intellectual and warm hearted old man, everyboy loves him. All the priests were dressed in purple and white. Great faces, great expressions, great colors....

Then I went to the meeting of a costomer supported agriculture community and met this old fighter. Very nice and interesting chap, Friedhelm:

@ Bruno-

How did you get this ship into the bottle?

[John Geerts]

February 14th.  Cold, rainy mixed with snow. Brrr.

Good stuff John. Those buds look like purple whales breaching up for a look around.
