Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

This is from a day trip I took with my best friend to Artessa Winery in Napa Valley, California. Although the location may not be as exotic as some, I found the California landscape to be absolutely beautiful and inspirational. I just got a new camera and this was my first time using it, and I ended up with some amazing pictures. By the time we arrived at the vineyard, the wine tastings were over, but we got to partake of a glass of wine on the patio and had ample opportunities for pictures. I like how the composition reflects the elements of earth, water, and wind, but what I really love about this picture is the juxtaposition between the precise definition of the water and sculpture with the lush landscape in the background that looks more like a painting.
