Farm for sale!

I was very surprised when I saw this farm all locked up and the vineyards in this sorry state of affairs. All other vineyards in the area have a lot of green on them. Of course, the Helderberg in the background.

What a view

[vonski]

What stunning place and such a shame to see the vines in such a state

[Casablanca]

Oh to have the money to buy it and make it live again! What a stunning setting. I hope someone takes it on.

[Monique]

Agreeing with Casablanca in everything she said 👍

[KoalaGardens🐨]

wow that is so brown!

[Babs]

So sad, it is very dry

[Joan Robillard]

Great shot. Would be interesting if someone buys it and brings it back to life.

[Etienne]

Stunning desolate view. Do you think that the vines could still come back to life, or will the new buyer have to plant everything all over ?

[Bep]

Wonderful landscape!

[Valerie Chesney]

So sad, but, still a stunning capture.

[Beth]

I am shocked as well. Apparently the other farms that have green have been around to do the necessary irrigating. It is sad such a beautiful spot could come to this.

[Lou Ann]

Such a beautiful place. I will say that growing grapes and the whole vineyard, winery operation are incredibly labor intensive. Not to mention the actual making of the wine. I’m hopeful this lovely place will be restored. Your Helderberg is so beautiful.

[Pam Knowler]

It looks so beautiful!!

[PhotoCrazy]

Beautiful!!

[Larry L]

Really beautiful spot, hope it rebounds

[tony gig]

WOW, Beautiful...Fav

[Carole Sandford]

Definitely a farm with a view! No crops might be a problem though!

[Steve Pooley]

What a fabulous setting you have captured

[Angelika van Rooyen]

Fabulous scene!

[Sue Rose]

There’s so much to like about this shot. Love all the contrasts of colours. Fav

[Clare Gadsby]

wow. this is a stunning image. it's so crisp it almost looks like the vineyards and farm have been superimposed on top. love the light on the helderberg and the foreground

[Sharon Lee]

lovely landscape

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Wonderful shot

[Myrna O'Hara]

wow, the mountains!!!!!!!!

[Jane Pittenger]

Threat composition

[bruni]

Too bad. great picture.
Here the farms are for sale wherever you look and get bought to build more and more subdivision. One asks where do all the people come from to buy these homes.

[Marnie]

How sad to see such beautiful country in this state. Amazing landscape.

[Rick]

Awesome capture.

[Glover Shearron, Jr.]

What a cool shot, oasis like, but MAN is there a lot of work to do there!

It is very much appreciated :-)

[Diana]

@etienne These vines are very old and sturdy. It they were to get enough water now the could be saved. It is 5 to twelve though, so I suppose they will have to be taken out. I will keep my eye on this farm and report ;-)

[Margo]

So dry!! Beautiful mountains in the background

[Brigette]

well captured and fascinating landscape

[Junko Y]

The background reminded me of the Grand Tetons but the foreground reminded me that this is in vineyard country . . . and not the Tetons. I like how you juxtaposed the two.
