So Turquoise, you have grape fields in your country? There are many of them in Hungary too. Hungarians are proud of their wines. I don't have any pictures of the grapes I prefer to take pictures abroad, although Hungary is definitely a beautiful country.
One of my dreams is visiting Africa one day. I have never been outside of Europe.
Amazing photos! :banana:

I like dropping in and looking at the pictures you all post.
A nice cheery thread.
Great pictures everyone.
Here are the sunsets, I took these picture last month.

Very nice Snowqueen. :)
South Africans are very proud of their wines/wine industry too. It's especially the case where I live as it's right in the middle of the wine counrty. Some of my friends and family are in the industry as well, from making wine to selling it :DQuote:

Claes, Olga, Revolte, Turquoise, Snowqueen, thank you for all the beautiful pictures. This is my favorite thread. I wish I could o that. I do have a camera phone. Maybe I'll try to take a few next week, but that is not a strong point of mine, I fear.
Claes, the snow looked awesome; I'm glad you made it through safely. I love snow, but like all exteme weather it can be dangerous.
Olga, that picture of the reflection in the water is just stunning. Revolte, you have a real gift for the modern, quirky picture.
Turquoise, your part of the world is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. And Snowqueen, those pictures are just spectacular!
Thanks qimissung, I was lucky to visit Malta on a sunny day after rain, so it is not me it is the Nature.Quote:

TurquioseSunset,. I love your photos. I love vineyards and mountains in the background....That white building is so pretty, too.
Snowqueen, I love your sunset photos...wow...they seem otherworldly...like you captured the last sun beames. I feel heat when I look at them as though the day was warmed by the sun and it will stay warm at night....just lovely and so beautiful, as all your photos always are.
Olga, those sunset photos are lovely. I love to see landscapes shot through stone windows, buildings; so the third on is my favorite, even though you don't see the orb of the sun, it's evident on the side of the stone...luminous.
