Good Morning Everyone,

Chinon, in the valley of the Loire, is a big wine producing area of France. Everywhere we travelled, we saw beautifully managed vinyards, lazing under the warmth of the sun. No wonder the local wine was so delicious!

I particularly liked this view of a vinyard because it gave us a birds'-eye view and allowed us to see the regularity and patterns of the planting.

The photograph was taken mid-morning, from the high walls of Chinon Chateau.

Many thanks for your interest.
Please feel free to feedback on any aspect of the photograph. Bev :-)

'Morning Bev,

The composition is classic as shown by the well placed houses, the attractive lines and graphism created by grape furrows, and the intense blue sky perhaps aided by a polarizer. A high quality image. Best regards...

Good afternoon Beverley
Happy you tasted Chinon wine, and also saw the beautiful castle on the side of the Loire.
But you took here a nice shot of this vineyard which will make Burgundy jealous of my region :)))
Kind regards

hello Bev,
I like this very much. The colours and compo are very pleasing. But more than that I like the texture of the lines of vines. I imagine running my fingers over the image and feeling corduroy.
