Tanks 4 Looking Photo

Photographer’s Note

The sun reflecting of these shiny new rain water tanks at the rear of the Aldersey Farm Restaurant caught my eye while driving in the country town of McLaren Vale.

McLaren Vale
The McLaren Vale is most famous for its delicious wines, although there are also some pretty historic towns worth visiting, if visiting this area.
Although the major produce in the McLaren Vale used to be its superb red wines, since the 1970”s white wine has began to make an appearance. The main wineries can be found in Langhorne, Reynella (home to the first winery in 1838) and Willunga. Willunga is also famous for its almonds, holding the Almond Blossom Festival every July. There are about 45 wineries that you can visit in the area, either on your own by car or along the pretty cycle track or with a tour.
If you love wine and beautiful countryside then you will love the McLaren Vale,I do.

Have a great day

Hi Mark,
The palm tree looks so out of place in this capture. The corrugated iron tanks and roof would suggest a location way out in the bush, although the big wine barrel sort of gives it away.
Interesting shot, well spotted.
cheers
Peter

Hi Mark, this is a great B&W conversion. Everything's so SHARP and well-contrasted. A perfect subject you've chosen for B&W, thanks for sharing it, will have a Friday arvo vino/s in your honour, Lisa.
