Our performance this last weekend took us up farther north than usual. I really enjoy north of San Francisco. It’s less crowded and more green and the trees and all of the landscape very different. Mid-October in Northern CA is one of the most beautiful times of the year for the area. Still warm and the lighting is changing for a softer effect. And yes, lots of vineyards. Pretty much everywhere you look these days in Northern CA there are vineyards.

Another scene from just down the road.

This was a strange picture. My camera must have been on a sort of paint setting. Anyway I kind of liked it.
