Tuesday 31 August 2010: Dripping vines

As I left my hosts place this morning - in rain! - some good ol' Marlborough vines glistened in the early morning sunlight across the road.

Blip done for the day :)

Yay!

  2. This is intensely beautiful.

  3. Horizontal rain or through the car window? It's a very beautiful shot, whichever it is.

  4. I really like this. When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was a cityscape taken through a car window covered with rain. It's eye catching. Great work!

  23. @ Amalari - actually, sitting in the car with the door wide open getting slightly less soaked than I would have been standing outside!!

    @ freespiral - Marlborough is a big wine producign region in New Zealand and these are some of the delicious, leaf-less, winter grape vines. The lines across the image are the wires that the vines will grow along.

  24. Ah, I'm glad you explained it. Otherwise I'd have to say it had great abstract qualities. :)
    Nicely done as b&w, too.
