Oh My. I never saw a hill loaded with grape vines. It is quite attractive. I thought it was a bunch of large trees in wooden buckets made to transport them somewhere. Like from a nursery to the new owners property.
It's nice to hear from you Abe. Your comment made me look through my old photos of the vineyards and I realized that in many of the close-up shots it is indeed impossible to tell that the vines are on a slope. Here are links to some of my old posts for those who might be interested:
Great picture of the hillside - makes you wonder for a bit as to what you are looking at. Thanks for the tour of previous posts! Love the one with a red, red car - a Citroen? I didn't realize you had such a steep hillside too. One of our Swiss friends had a family vineyard in I think Shaffhausen. I still have an empty bottle (no. 251 of 300?) of the vine he made for his wedding. I'm off to refresh my memory.
I started this blog in Jan 2007 as a member of the City Daily Photo family representing the village of Villigen. I'm a transplant to Switzerland and keeping the blog was a way for me to keep a record of new things I learnt while sharing with others. I was on a long LONG break, and now I post only sporadically although I still have hopes of posting more regularly. Thanks for stopping by and drop me a line if you have questions or comments.

White or red grappes ?
I like very much your previous post. was the cow going to the city ?
Yes, indeed, those shots do show better that the vines are growing on a steep hillside. Thanks for showing me those. I appreciate it.
Beautiful shot.
Love the composition as well as the situation.
at first instance it looked like a giant tree ...then i realized , it's a hill-full of vines.........beautiful enchanting place you call home, Z!
Sorry about the delay in responding!
