Skywatch Friday :

This is Uva Mira Wine Estate ..
.. the highest wine estate in the Stellenbosch region of the Cape in South Africa ..

.. which is well known for it's Chardonnay ..

.. and spectacular views (a little hazy on this day) of False Bay with the mountains in the background, one of which is the side view of Table Mountain and if you look to the extreme left along the horizon there is Cape Point ...

  1. Lovely sky shots...blue skies with cirrus clouds. Luscious greenery soothes my eyes.

    I like the second photo, the wine glass made a chic impression. :)

    Those are wonderful sceneries. Thanks for sharing.

  3. I have had problems leaving comments again, but I have so enjoyed your blogs about the Cape. My camera has been giving problems, so when I was in CT on Monday I couldn't take any photographs. I sat at a little coffee shop overlooking the harbour, smelling the sea, sipping on my sauvignon blanc and listening to an old man play Christmas carols on his sax. It was heavenly!

  5. You just made me very jealous!
    Okay, okay. There IS a little blue spot here and there in between all the dark grey.

  6. I wish I was closer to Cape Town so that I could enjoy the beautiful Boland and it's wine estates more.
