Yellow fields and blue skies

Yellow fields and blue skies

We took a drive out to Riebeek Kasteel – a little town in the Riebeek Valley recently. If you’ve been out into the Cape countryside, I’m sure you’ll believe me when I say that the view in real life is so much prettier than what this photo portrays!

In case you’re wondering, the white nets that you see in photo cover the grape vines. I assume that they’re used to protect the ripening grapes from the harshness of the sun. It’s curious to me though that only this patch is covered – do you think it could be because this particular patch is used to provide grapes for late-harvest wines?

    The background is so cool. The clouds just over the hills make the photo striking. I love the large farms at the foreground and believe they could be grape gardens.

    Thank you CAS, and yes, those are vineyards that you spy. :)
