@dnc Not a bad list for an airline… I’m a Syrah fan and Xinomavro has some similarities, I’d def try it. Jabboulet Crozes-Hermitage is a solid choice. Nothing wrong with a splash of Provençal rosé! #wine

Finnish photographer Jani Ylinampa did a series of four photos of Kotisaari, showing the island from a drone’s point of view for each of the four seasons (from left to right): spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

#NaturePhotography #Drone #Art #Finland

Small, teardrop shaped island with five buildings of various sizes (possibly a house with barns and outbuildings) on the lower right side. The point of the drop has a little round pond, then a very small, nearly enclosed inlet. There are trees on the left, below the closed side of the inlet and a series of shrubs around the edges of the island. Spring is browned grass and leafless trees and shrubs. There is still a bit of ice on the surface of the pond and inlet.Same as island but in summer. Looks like it is floating in the sky (which is a near mirror reflection of deep blue puffy clouds).  The vegetation is all a bright and vibrant green. There are three, nearly hidden canoes laying keel up in the lower right. Slightly above that is a brand new L-shaped floating dock with a green fishing net spread across it, drying in the sun.Fall is browning grass and the trees and shrubs are about halfway shifted to a crisp gold. There are three canoes in a row, keels up in the lower left, just below a newish looking L-shaped floating dock.The island in winter. The surrounding water and the pond / inlet are iced over. There is a light coat of snow on everything. There are long shadows slanting down on the left across the ice from the sun shining through the leafless trees and shrubs.

A camera on a tripod set up on a deserted beach. There are ripples in the wet sand at low tide. The sky is blue, the sun beginning to set over the distant headland.

It's 1am and it's a bit hard to get to sleep around here.

#Tromso #NorthernLights #Nordlys #AuroraBorealias #PhotographyWorkshop #Lumix

Around 8pm it got started, with just a hint of post-sunset blue in the sky.I figured nothing much would happen tonight, because there would be too much cloud cover. But I was wrong!Every so often the Nordlys soften out and the dark sky returns.Only moments later to roar back into life.

@BrentToderian We recently purchased an aparte in Dijon, < 5 min to bakery, les Halles, multiple restaurants, natural wine shop, spectacular cheese shop. Loving #dijonlife such a contrast to the US, though #northloop Minneapolis is a close runner-up!

How do you measure a livable, lovable city? One possibility — 94% of Parisians live less than 5 minutes from a bakery. HT @parisyimby.

He is called the “natural wine pioneer,” “an influential wine grower,” “a revolutionary winemaker,” and “iconic” but the fact is that he just knows one way to make wine. That one way is his way.

He is Josko Gravner. He broke with the norm and for 30 years he has been making wine his way. And his wines are renowned around the world and relished by those who know them.

I *think* this is looking up at Chambolle-Musigny "Les Amoureuses" from Domaine Bertagna in Vougeot, June 2018. #wine #vineyard #Bourgogne #valentines

Lush Burgundian vineyard, looking upslope to the forest at the top of the escarpment. Sunny June day, blue sky with clouds.

I was right to be excited (see earlier toots for details). 😀 This turned out so good. Miso marinated pork chops with dashi garlic cauliflower rice & spicy cucumbers. This will become my new fried rice recipe. It was so good. #cooking #recipes #mmmmm
