In the vines again

On another warm springlike morning I was trying to capture the sepia bareness of the vineyards before spring arrives properly to change the vines again. In the foreground there are vines growing in the gobelet style, and they have been pruned, while further away towards the roofless mazet there are rows of unpruned vines trained along wires in the Guyot style, named after Jules Guyot, the vine expert, physician and revolutionary who developed it in Burgundy in the mid-nineteenth century. The touches of bright blue among the vines are plastic protectors put in around young vines where they have replaced old ones in the rows.
