That's My World Tuesday prompt #3

While water worlds are a large part of my landscape on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia, there are many other worlds here. Vineyards are tucked into hilly landscapes. There are many boutique vineyards, especially in my southern area of the peninsula.

Wow..I enjoyed the Ruby Tuesday and My World postings...
Wow. If you converted these shots to greyscale you'd have Monochrome Monday covered for weeks! I especially like the first and last ones. There's a quiet dignity about them.
And I have to say, that's an unique way to use an old wooden boat!
Those are amazing photos! I'd like to be in that field of vineyard! The boat looks very cool in that position:)
Mine is up too, HERE. If you get a chance;)
Very nice post. I like the grounds of this place.
I love all your photos, and I must say I do enjoy an Australian wine once in a while. Have you ever had any British Columbia wine?
That artwork is eyecatching! But all in all, each of your photo is a beauty, the last one gives hints of fog or perhaps dusk is close?
I should try visiting the Austrian vineyards soon (yeah, because of your posts!) =D
How nice to live to live near vineyards, Gemma. The grapes must be beginning to grow now, eh?
Bottle of your best vintage please.lol.
Nice place too.
Love all your photos AND your music! And I wouldn't mind a bottle of your wine either. Thanks!
Gemma: What a really neat view at the winery. You made some neat captures of the area.
Beautiful. I love the fence and the shot of the artwork. Looks like a canoe protecting a tree.
I love to wonder through the landscape of your homeland. The vineyards and euchalyptus trees reminds me alot of California.
A quiet beauty that I'm sure you are truly at home with, I hope your new home is as magical and your walks and photos ring of the same love of life.
Thinking of you and David as you move to the new abode. Hope all is well friend.

Hi,
I enjoyed looking around your blog. You take some beautiful photographs!
What a wonderful tour! They each have unique ways of grabbing one's attention.
I loved the boat and the wagon.
This was a real enjoyment. Now if I only had a glass of wine.
Great selection of photos - love the one with the artwork! Gemma, I’m bestowing your blog a ‘Blogging Friends Forever’ award in my 5 November post. Rules, etc. will all be there should you want to continue the thread.
What a lovely selection.
It was very pleasant trip with you, thanks a lot!
Gemma, for my money we hsve far too many wineries in Australia. Most of our arable as well as grazing land is being turned into irrigation grape growing. We are exporting our precious water in cardboard and bottles and soon will have insufficient food production to be self sufficient and farming know-how will have died out as well. That all sounds gloomy, but the writing is already
on the wall.
The last photos is just awesome. The whole post is most definitely not what I would have expected from Australia, some of it looks like it could be five minutes from here.
Wow. I really want to visit your country.
Fascinating post and great piccies, I love Australian wine :-)
Ah, I love Australian wines. I'll have to add these names to my list to try.
Thanks for sharing your world with us.
i love all your pics but the 3rd and the last one are my favorites because they are quite extraordinary and interesting. great job.
