Neither of us had ever been to Lake Berryessa, so that just meant that it was time to go and explore.
We ended up on the "rougher" side of the lake, with all the resorts with their amenties (like boat rentals) on the other side. So we instead drove through Pope Valley on the way to Napa to reward ourselves for our adventuring spirit and back-roads dead reckoning with some wine.
This is a re-edit of an old picture from my album Collection of Cars. I have learned new things in the editing process and was able to improve the picture. We grow.
This old timer was on display at one of the local shows in the area. ...-- .----
This is a composite picture. If you like it you may like my album called collection of cars.

La place d'Espagne (Piazza di Spagna) doit son nom à la présence de l'ambassade d'Espagne ( XVIIème siècle). La fontaine de la Barcaccia représentant une barque prenant l'eau porte les armes de la famille du pape, les Barberini, symbolisées par des abeilles (commandée par le pape Urbain VIII à Bernini (père du Bernin)) est reliée par un très bel escalier (XVIIIème siècle) à l'église de la Trinité des Monts.
The Spanish Steps (Piazza di Spagna) owes its name to the presence of the Spanish Embassy (17th century). The fountain of Barcaccia representing a boat taking the water carries the arms of the Pope's family, the Barberini, symbolized by bees (commissioned by Pope Urban VIII to Bernini (father of Bernini)) is connected by a beautiful staircase (Eighteenth century) at the church of Trinidad des Monts.

Fortunate to have an opportunity to tour this lovely "Usonian" home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
I was able to take this grab shot during a three-minute hole in the clouds while we were waiting for our tour on an otherwise cloudy day. The sun poking through really lit up the fall foliage and the warm-toned wood and brickwork which Wright really loved to use in his designs.
The tour was really informative and worth the visit, if you ever have a chance:
