The nature area is quite swampy but has a walkway over the wetlands. On the wooden walkway there is chickenwire nailed down to keep you from slipping on the wet boards. Grand idea! This is not a place I would think about stopping to take some photos, as the trees are all yellow and it is very overcast and misty. But some of the beautiful photos from this group are amazing.
Back to the hotel for some post processing photos again and lunch. Our dinner was at an old abandoned ghost mining town where there is a winery. The owner of the Wild Earth Winery and his two assistants serve us another great meal. In between the meal and the drive home, we go outside for some drunken star photos. Here is my first attempt:
This was taken on a very dark night with no lights around. I sort of like the lit trees however. This was one of the highlight dinners. Trey met this man a week ago at his TED Talk and they became friends and offered to prepare dinner for us at his winery. The first wine was the Reserve that cost $2000 a bottle and it was smooth. The following wine was excellent as well. All 20 of us sat at a farmer's table in a little tasting room and were treated like royalty. Our entree (appetizer in US) was what looked like a beef boat. It included sliced filet and lamb with some fingerling potatoes and vegetables to share.
All of my wino friends would absolutely love the selections each meal. Most of what I m having is Pinot Noir although there is some great white wine here as well. No one gets out of control or ignorant. It is a jolly group of wine drinkers.
