It has been extremely foggy the past two mornings. Not the marine fog that haunts the San Francisco Bay Area all summer long, but true radiation fog, (or Tule fog as they call it here after the winter fogs that form in the expansive, low-lying San Joaquin and Sacramento Valleys). I love it.This up valley vineyard looks a little forlorn in the misty gloom of a late January morning. I am fairly certain that this vineyard, belonging to Swanson Vineyards, was formerly planted to Merlot. But whether or not the vines were diseased, no longer economically viable, or simply just old, they are history. Only the blossoming mustard and an incomplete trellising system remain as silent witnesses to the crime.

Bloody scousers...they'll rob anything.
When I first saw this photo, I was reminded of WW1 cemeteries at places like Thiepval or Tyne Cot.....spookie!
that is wierd
If they have been abandoned, can you snaffle the trellising and use it again? Or is that thieving?
Weston: replants happen all the time.
WH: They will probably just replant and rewire.
awww I thought there was going to be some big conspiracy I guess not *sigh*
