Up from Boonville. An old apple tree. Few are now left. The valley is turning from fruit trees and sheep farming to Pinot Noir. We heard that our friends at Lazy Creek Vineyards, an idyllic spot near Philo, have just been bought by a large Nevada-based corporation.

One of those staged viewpoints.

We are little different from the days of the Claude Glass - a tinted convex mirror through which the tourist or artist of the picturesque and sublime could see a composed and painterly image.

Now we have the wide angle lens, saturated color (after Fuji Velvia), and the LCD of the digital camera.
