This image is from an old film 4” X 5” proof taken back in 1997, the first year I lived here on the old farm. In the background you can see some of my grape arbors. I make my own wine, (kick ass!) and my own grape jelly. This image was taken in late autumn, so the vines had already lost their lush growth. One of the reasons that this land and home was so attractive to me was for the photographic opportunities that the beauty of the place made available.
