Photos from paradise

[RustySterling]

Here are some shots from around Guerneville where my wife and I stayed this past weekend. The inn where we stayed was very nice.

This is the vineyard next to the inn and is one of the views from some of the rooms.


These are some of the trees on the inn property.


This is from the nearby Russian River.


This is an interior shot of the inn's reception room.

You sure did stay in a beautiful place. I really like the angle of the vineyard shot, you can see the orderly plantings in both directions and the barn just adds the right finish. All of these photos are great, those exposed trusses look fantastic. Yea, someone like me could talk for a day about these, so I'll be quiet and say I love them all.

LOL. Glad you like them. I've got LOTS more. It really is a beautiful place. And you are right about the barn providing a nice finish. Without the barn the photos is just ho-hum to me.

Nice pictures - looks like it was a great trip! I really like the angle on the vineyard and boat shot, and the perspective on that boat one too. Great job!

Thanks for the kind words. I didn't crop any of those shots. Except for some exposure, clarity, and vibrance tweaks in Adobe Camera Raw they are practically SOOC.

Thank you for sharing this lovely set. My hands down favorite is the tree. I love trees.

My first attempt to shoot the trees I had a lens that was too long and couldn't shoot them without some wires getting in the way. So I ventured out later with a wide-zoom and got that.

You've done well in capturing the essence of the inn. Your pictures really make me want to go there. The boat shot is my favorite.
