I love all of the photos. I have taken vineyard photos, but none so beautiful as yours. I really like the Big Sur photos, too. That was a great choice for the black and white. The sunset is gorgeous. We camped in Big Sur when we lived in California. Then I made my husband take me to a B&B in Cardiff by the Sea. We never made it to San Francisco. The photo of the clouds has beautiful colors. Clouds are often interesting to photograph. I know I have taken lots of cloud photos.
