A morning at a hillside vineyard

It has been a while since my last trip to a hillside vineyard. The path was muddy and longer than the map suggested, but the view at the end made up for it.

An elderly couple asked me to take their picture. I used their phone, then made one frame of them on mine. Walking back, I found a side street I had never noticed before, lined with tiny workshops.

By noon the crowds arrived, so I walked further along the path, where morning markets were still undisturbed. There is something calming about returning to the same spot and noticing small changes since the last visit.

I will probably come back in a few weeks, when the season turns.
