Hello my friends! This is a view from the roof balcony of a new wine producing enterprise, financed from EU development funds. I tasted the wine - they call it "Windy hills" - it was good. What was bad was its relatively high price - a 700 ml bottle costs from 5 to 10 Euro, while a bottle of the same quality from the old wineries costs about half that price.

You may see in my workshops some of the inside secrets ot that Bulgarian "Chateau"

I've somewhat shadow/highlighted the sky to stress on the the ongoing dramatic changes in the Eastern part of the European continent.

Salud!

Hi Anton,
What a wonderful and magic shot of this vineyard scene with a crispy clear perspective of the far sky and clouds carrying a menacing threat, the whole shot is really great but if I had to mention a feature it would have to be those stakes that hold the vine in place, amazing point of view, truly magic, well done and keep up the good work, thanks for sharing

Hi Anton,
A dramatic view !! The light is wonderful, well done.
Ciao

HI Anton,

good contrast. I like the dramatic sky and the wineyards pattern.
I do not drink wine....but I would be interesting in having my father taste some bulgarian wine!
this sounds quite new to me

ciao
Silvio

Hello Anton,

Hope you didn't forget my reserve this time. FYI you already own home made vine in pet bottle.

Contrasts between my favorites of terracotta roof tiles and dark, cloudy sky are spectacular. But here you perfectly installed young vineyard with its repeating element and silhouettes of mountains. Great one! Congratulations and cheers.

Friendly Regards,

Ertugrul

Hi Anton!
Sounds like a waste of EU money,because the locals will by the cheaper ,"Old"wine with same quality.
Great shot,taken from an excellent POV.Good light at the roofs and wineyards and great contrast with the dark sky.The image has a great depth,too with these many lines.
Regards,Leo

Hi Anton

Excellent capture with strong contrast between the clouddy sky and lighten roof. Beautiful perspective on the field and nice colors everywhere.

TFS - Regards

Hello Anton,
Seems like there is a dramatic sky over Bulgaria!
Hopefully the changes will come out well and to the advantage of most...
Interesting framing, with use of the red roof as anchor in front, good details!
Greetings,

Hi Anton
That's a nice foto with all those rows of young vines.
I understand your dark sky, but maybe you make it too dark (in both senses).
---
With half that price you buy a very good bottle of Portuguese wine, even those that got medals in contests abroad (for example, and you can find cheaper). And it's usually 750 ml.
Greetings,
Francisco

Good morning Anton,
nice shot of this new young vineyard that looks so great in contrast with this dark sky above.As you say the new production of the wine is good one but the price higher than the old one.I like the complementary photos.

Have a nice May Day,Danos

Hallo Anton!
Interesting photo - interesting note! For me the sky is a bit too dramatic, too threatening ;-) I like this pattern of all these poles and your point of here which gives an excellent overview. I would prefer to drink the old - half prize - wine ;-) Thank you for showing this!
Greetings from warm and sunny Siegen, and have a nice weekend!
Frank

Hello Anton,
I like the repetitive pattern of the white poles supporting the young vines, The light coloured Terra Cotta roof tiles contrasts well with the dark angry sky. The price is what we would pay for a nice bottle of red of Australian wine.
Thank you
Santo

Здравствуй, Антон,
давно не был у тебя в гостях.Классный кадр! Правда мне это напомнило Арлингтон.Геометрия такая же.Значит вино будет к осени? Ты какое предпочитаешь? Я сухое красное мерло.
Всех благ,дружище!
Сергей

Hi Anton!
That's what I call a dark sky. This weather is wonderful for photos.The composition is good with this roof and the vineyard receiving the sunlight and then, the dark background. Great moment!

Hi Anton. That is a very dramatic sky and provides a huge contrast with the vineyard and the “chateau”. Good colours and detail. Excellent patterns in the vines also. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Bonjour Anton
The luminosity combined with the dramatic sky create a very special atmosphere! Great contrast and graphical impact provided by the vineyards... Also thanks for the complementary photos in ws.
Have a nice day

The PP in the sky is maybe a little too strong but except that, the scene is really dramatic and striking. A taste of "end of the world" I find excessive. Great contrast.
