Where Wine Comes From
While no doubt unremarkable, and even boring to those who make their living by growing wine grapes, I don't tire of seeing great pictures of the raw materials that go into my bottles. In this case, several clusters of grapes (what look to me like Pinot Noir) sheltering in the shade and reflected light of a hot day. -- Alder Yarrow

Just breath taking during that time of year!
