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.

A view from the tasting room at Bodega Ysios in Laguardia, Spain.

The view is beautiful, the wine delicious, and the company interesting. Good to linger here and enjoy it all. (Nikon D850, Nikkor 17-35mm 2.8D)

Guardian of the Grapes, Spain

While touring about La Rioja, I spotted this capable canine keeping an eye on the vineyard:

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.

DSC_2480.JPGThere are mountains on either side. When the weather rolls in, you can see the clouds folding over the top and spilling downward.
