Thanks Olga!
Now that I'm at home I can add a few I've taken myself! ...I've actually forgotten I had them
Constantia Museum on the lovely Constantia farm...
A few views from the front of the museum...
Oh, what a wonderful picture. Very nice.Originally Posted by Revolte

That is a lovely country. I love a field full of grape vines. What is that building in your first picture? Interesting architecture.Okay, so I know it's supposed to be pictures taken by me...these weren't taken by me, but because I live in a lovely region I might take a few of them myself in the future

Thanks Virgil!
It's the Afrikaans Language Monument. On Wikipedia it says it's located on a hill, but it's actually on Paarl Mountain (the mountain in the second picture with the large granite outcrop) - Paarl being my home town.
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.

Wow some stunning shots. The amber one is like something made up from heaven!!! I'd like to go there on my holidays.
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
I've never been out of Africa
I've heard about Southern African wines but never tried yet, would be nice to compare with Hungarian.South Africans are very proud of their wines/wine industry too.

Snowqueen, wonderful pictures! I love sunsets and have taken some nice pictures of that time of the day.

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.
Snowqueen, Your sunset picture are masterpieces!
I found some sunset pictures taken last year.
These two are from Malta (Gozo):

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.
