Fuori fa freddo, e quale miglior occasione starsene in casa e lasciarsi scaldare da un camino che arde sorseggiando un bicchiere di buon vino?
The erstwhile Barossa Wine Train formed of former South Australian Railway 'Bluebird' railcars 251/102/51 rolls into the yard at Nuriootpa in the Barossa Valley during September 2000.
If you've got an hour or two I could fill you in on the history of this privately owned tourist operation.
The railway to the Barossa is now moribund and the railcars sit forlornly in storage at the National Railway Museum in Adelaide. If you have lazy million and somewhere to run them, they could be yours!
No, I haven’t gone off the deep end. It’s just how creativity works. Flickr has this challenge every week called #FlickrFriday. This week’s theme is #Flip. As I was chewing on that (Light switch? Coin?, Trampoline?) my wife told me to toss an old bottle of Prosecco in the fridge. The light bulb went off.
I remembered looking at a picture about 40 years ago — a bottle of wine, a glass of wine and a French château. They were sort of lined up but the château was (of course) way in the background. In the wine glass, the château was reflected upside down. It’s just how the optics work with the curved glass of a wine glass. So I took the bottle and a wine glass up on Monte Sano for my normal sunrise shot and Presto! Flipped.
I’m really pleased with the results. I knew it would flip the Sun and the horizon but I didn’t realize it would reflect the blue portion of the sky, from straight overhead, in the rest of the glass. The added contrast (cool light on warm light) was nice. I shot it a dozen different ways (of course). Some of the other compositions were quite interesting too. And it gave me other ideas I want to try now. Which, of course, is the whole point of the exercise/challenge.

A while ago I produced a photo for a themed challenge which I have in my portfolio called pouring water.
I was editing some of the photos tonight and decided to use the black and white images to produce something that was a bit of fun so I copied and pasted eight of the images and turned them into a kind of wheel. I then added a gradient for a bit of colour.

The Sunday evening ritual commences once more! I was a big fan of the 2007 (which I got to try on 3 occasions), from what everyone is saying, the 2008 is supposed to be just as good if not better. We'll find out very shortly :)
...and as usual, once the first glass has been poured, that means we're about an hour away from the steak portion of the evening ;)
Quinnty has done it again! A awesome new GroupGift for absolutely free! (For group members, it cost 50L$ to join and past groupgifts are still available)
Here is your ride!
Warm temperatures on a sunny March day enticed me to take a drive to the Sierra foothills and visit Ironstone Vineyards in Calaveras County to indulge myself in some flower therapy while simultaneously sipping some tasty wine! A beautiful spring-like day taking flower portraits with the Lensbaby Velvet.
I changed the design of the cup. Wine bottle, Burgundy type and Bordeaux type. Scheduled for commercialization:)
The most standard form^^b
まずは、もっとも標準的なあるあるデザインで。
このあと、オリジナルデザインでいくよ！
