La Rioja (panorama)

Here’s a panorama stitched together from three photos taken by the Nikon Z9, Nikkor Z 35mm 1.8 S.

All those vineyards and the distant hills are mighty inviting.

Peñafiel Castle, Spain, quick look

Here’s just a few snapshots from Peñafiel Castle. I had been there several years ago, took the door, and checked out the wine museum. All very interesting. Here’s a look at the main gate:

And just for fun, here’s a view over the nearby countryside.

Fields and vineyards for as far as the eye can see. It really is beautiful. Then again, most all of Spain is. Take your time to enjoy it all.

Views of La Rioja, Spain

La Rioja, like much of Spain, features some marvelous views. A broad valley of fields and vineyards, it is dotted by some hills from which you can see for miles.
