This is a vineyard in Taurasi, Italy, a village where one of my great-grandparents was born, in the province of Avellino.
I took the photo on a drizzly day in November of 2009. The grape leaves had turned color for the fall, all shades of Marsala; perfect for this photo challenge!
While I was sharpening the image a bit and viewing it at full size, I discovered, to my surprise, that I had caught a little dog in the shot! Perhaps you can still find him even though I have reduced the size of the photo for the internet…
It could be like a “Where’s Waldo” activity 🙂
Thank you Jennifer for this One Word Photo Challenge: Marsala.
Yeah, after a little effort I could spot the dog too 🙂
Beautiful picture though!

I found him! So cute, not sure I would have had you not mentioned it was there. This is such a beautiful scene – you captured it well. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you! It was a beautiful area. The dog was cute. If I had noticed him when I took the picture I would have tried to get a shot of him as the featured subject 🙂

Yes it is. I hope I have the good fortune to spend a little time in Taurasi again. I feel very drawn to the old part of the town and the countryside.

Found Waldo! Your drizzly November day looks like many of our summer days… it’s a lovely picture, so vibrant despite the drizzle.

It seemed that the the wetness of everything made the colors brighter… Makes me think of those gorgeous gems of pebbles at the Oceanside…. They don’t look nearly as bright and vibrant once they dry out 🙂

That’s a good explanation! Thanks for that. Good knowledge to stack away and save it for a rainy day.
