Napa Valley












Here are some selected shots from my time in Napa Valley. I took some from my bike, but most were from the warm and dry vantage point of through my car window. I've been to Napa in conditions not unlike these before, and I always marvel when looking back through pictures at how lush everything seems. The cold and the rain make the experience of actually being there more chilling and perhaps foreboding than the pictures I took can convey. It makes perfect sense, as this precious stretch of earth must recharge every winter to produce the bounty of another summer harvest, but I am still struck by that otherwise hidden promise discoverable in some of these photos.
