All that makes up a wine region.
Amid the renovated and modernized Kellerstocks one can now and again find parts of an old building. A door that I found rather striking and which evoked a whole train of thought as to who lived behind it over the decades and perhaps centuries...
A lot of our local wine farmers still farm traditional crops such as maize. Even all dried up they make an artful imprint. Nice to see juxtaposed all the rows of vines.
A striking pose of this yellow bird - could be a yellowhammer or Eastern Yellow bunting - showing off its fine plumage.
It was most obliging by turning towards the camera. Hidden beauty in plain sight...
A stack of logs awaiting their fate...the one in the middle made me think of a lucky clover.
A very old Kellerstock seems to have been unearthed or rather de-forested recently. I would love to know how old it is but at a rough guess, I would put it into the nineteenth century...
A view from the front where you can see all the shrubs and branches that were cleared away. This Kellerstock is on the edge of Eisenberg Weinberg overlooking the valley. Perhaps an old guard hut? Again, if these walls could talk...
