From last spring

The Barrel Room
Although there are many rooms and hallways filled with barrels, this is the barrel room deep underground beneath the breathtaking Castello di Amorosa castle near Calistoga, CA. Just one of the many wonders to explore in this truly magical place. If you're ever in the Napa Valley, you must stop by for a visit!

Earlier today, I posted the setup for this

Anticipation….as I waited for the perfect moment. Although I do like the final result, the evolution of light didn't quite get to the level of 'wow' that I had hoped for.

Just goes to show you that many times we are at a great place with lots of potential, but we still are left with what the weather gives us!

Calistoga Sunset
After weeks of clear blue sky, we finally got some interesting clouds.   As the sun sets farther south in the winter, I’ll revisit this spot…(though the vineyards will be bare!)

The Special Stuff is Just Surreal

————————————————
Surreal, you say? Well, have you been down here?
This is where they keep the special stuff..behind a locked gate deep in the caves beneath the +Castello di Amorosa. Reserve, they call it…I imagine reserved for the King and Queen!
It is dark and eerie down here, with a hint of mystery and atmosphere  of centuries gone by, and it feels almost like you're peering into the past. 

If you ever get the opportunity to take the castle tour here in the Napa Valley, it is well worth the trip!

What Do You Want for Your Birthday?

—————————————————————
I have the sweetest wife in the world. When I asked her what her perfect birthday would be, she said "to hike Mt St Helena with you!"
  So that's what we did… it's a 5-mile hike to the top of the 4,340-ft-peak (10 miles round-trip), with breathtaking vistas of Napa, Sonoma, and Lake counties.
  There is nothing so special as time spent with the one you love… so we both got our favorite gifts today!
