Up North by maggiemae

Up North

Up north in NZ means closer to the equator. But as the climate is not that hot, its a great place for wines and olives. I think there must be too many olive trees in this photo as it is the 5th time I've tried to load this today!

Three good things:
1. You guys are just so wonderful with your comments and wit - bring a smile to my face!
2. No 2 son arrives in a day and I am so looking forward to it even if we do argue a lot!
3. No 1 all again!
Reminds me of California, especially with vineyards and olives!

Lovely shot. I'm a Northlander. Where is this? I love the lines - down the drive then the olives continuing those lines. The fallen autumnal leaves make it. A really interesting shot. Thanks for sharing.

What a wonderful view. There's a wonderful vineyard about ten miles from my home. The wine they produce won an award, beating French wines. I love to visit it

If you replaced the olive trees with apple trees this could be the UK. Lovely composition in this shot. I love NZ sauvignon blanc. it is quite expensive compared to others here in the UK.
