Autumn Vineyards

Found this yesterday - had been sitting on my computer... alone and forgotten. Much like me really!! Took this in Autumn last year at the Brancott Valley Estate on one of Marlborough's warm blue sky days. I love the view, the colours, the lines and the shadows. One of my favourite places to visit - they not only have great wine, but their coffee is to die for too!
