To me, this is quite a moody image, although I’m not sure that’s what was intended. The sky looks bright but overcast, while closer to the ground it looks to me as though it has just rained. B & W images are funny that way. Of course, the very first thing I noticed about the image is the way the window divides the scene into sections. Okay, I’ve babbled enough.
This photo was taken in the Napa Valley wine country a few weekends ago. It was a bit of an overcast, rainy day. But it made for some interesting images…and the tasting rooms were less crowded.
Nice shot. I like looking out on rows of vines. Sadly there is not quite the opportunity here in Englad… although English wines (especially sparkling ones) are getting a much better reputation. Gappy WW
wow, the second doorway type of WW image today! i was going to post a door, too, but then realized that i should do something in connection with world poetry month. now i’m getting my doors just by poking around other WW’s
Gotta go a touch glib on this one… simply because, I feel odd saying it, but of all your images, this one is easily my favourite! Evocative and emotional in a way… stark and yet not stark! Love it!
To me its like a photo taken from an old movie. I believe black and white pictures do create a dramatic effect. I have yet to try doing these kinds of shots, though.

Nice composition, though. Very nice!

Nice scene from through the windows. Nice perspective too!

Beautiful shot ! No words needed.

I like the view through the top right section.
I can choose I am sure.

This photo makes me feel nostalgic! Happy WW and thanks for visiting my post earlier.

The palm tree adds a lot to the photo. It is quite a striking image.

Very nice. To be inside and looking out on that vineyard must be very nice–especially if the hard work is done!

Super shot — well framed and cropped. Has a dream-like quality in the B&W

Wonderful shot. I love compositions like this either looking in or out. Tough lighting, but when you can pull it off it’s fantastic!

Beautiful photo!

I like this picture. It looks like it was taking a long time ago, and it looks very peaceful.

Daisy’s mom here:
That looks beautiful. One of the things we miss about California are the wineries. My father in law works at Matanzas Creek winery.

The photo (love the photo!) conveys my mood yesterday, not so much today though. I still could go for a glass of wine regardless. Happy WW.

Wonderful photo with the view framed by the windows.
April 15th, 2009 at 10:38 am
Oh, that is stunning! Mom, aka WillThink4Wine, loves wine and wineries!

That is an awesome picture.

That’s fantastic. The composition is wonderful.
April 15th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
Like it…what a unique picture!
April 15th, 2009 at 4:20 pm
Oh, we would love to sit and gaze out of that window:) Maybe we would see a mousie or two.

This is a great black and white photo. I love the view! Happy Wordless Wednesday and thanks for stopping by my blog!

I love wine and Ive never seen a vineyard ever. Great shot
April 18th, 2009 at 9:55 am
Except for the palm tree that could be a scene from a vineyard here in Germany, perhaps taken through a castle window. Very nice shot.

Thanks for sharing this creative photo.

What a gorgeous shot. I love the framing and negative space. It’s perfect!

Great Shot, so well composed. The palm tree adds just a tough of the surreal
