The vineyards looked so stark and somehow unnatural with their light coating of snow. The stakes and wires stood in sharp contrast against the white ground and accentuated the rolling contours of the hillside.
This vineyard was about half way up Mission Hill. I'm not sure though if it belonged to Mission Hill Winery or to another of the 13 or so wineries in this area of Kelowna. In total, Kelowna has about 25 wineries.

The current Holy Cross Church at 210 High Street was built on the site of the original mission church in 1889, and it remains an active parish of the Diocese of Monterey. A section of stone foundation wall from one of the mission buildings and a few old headstones from the mission cemetery can be found directly behind the present Holy Cross Church. A reduced-scale "replica" chapel was built near the mission site in the 1930s and functions as a chapel of Holy Cross Church. Today's Plaza Park occupies the same location as the original plaza, at the center of the former mission complex. The complex at one time included as many as 32 buildings. The only surviving mission building, a dormitory for native acolytes, has been restored to its original appearance and functions as a museum of the Santa Cruz Mission State Historic Park.

The weather has been gloomy for the last couple of days. But this is good for photography as I expect the sun would break out from time to time. Looking at the East Bay Hills, I am contemplating to head up to Monument Peak to check out the East Bay walls.

I actually took this picture a few years ago. Back then, I used Photomatix Pro to process an HDR image from the three bracketed shots. Today I gave it a try with NIK which is free from Google. I think NIK controls the noise in the shadows better. Lightroom 6 refused to process them as these images were exported from Sigma Photo Pro which, somehow, did not embed certain EXIF data that Lightroom required. I still prefer Lightroom HDR function as you can edit in 32-bit RAW without losing any information in the data.
This capture is actually printed big and is in the wall of my god daughter's home (Rain - the cute kid in the picture).
