I had a tough time choosing a suitable photo for this week’s photo challenge “Near and Far” as hosted by The Daily Post at WordPress and their guest photographer, Brian Cooney. When I realized that it is mostly a play in perspective, I was reminded of several photographs that my husband has taken while we were at Napa Valley in California. Here are a few of his photos, as post-processed by me, of course.
Napa Valley, California
“One should always be drunk. That’s all that matters…But with what? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you chose. But get drunk.”
― Charles Baudelaire
“his lips drink water
but his heart drinks wine”
― E.E. Cummings



Beautiful interpretation of this week’s challenge!
Thanks Cheryl. I’m glad you dropped by.
Love the trees photo. Great colors and perspective.
Thank you. It was our first autumn experience. We love the colors too.
And that hallway photo is similar to what I posted (I must add that you have great taste in photos). Your first autumn? Where do you live?
Horizontal lines, and still leading towards the distance. Pretty.
Thanks Marion. I’m glad you liked it.
This is great for this challenge.
Hi Connie, I’m happy you thought so.
Thank you for the kind words.
