If you like good food, wine and landscapes, this place is for you.
That building was our target, and I took some shots on our way up to it.
I will not give away much about the building, as this post is only to show you some sights on our way up to it. A sneak peek to arouse your curiosity. All that I can say is that it is a wine estate that has a great history behind it. But until my next post, I will show you some great sights that we encountered on our way up.
I have taken more that 100 shots at the place, and that's why I said that this post is only a teaser. Tomorrow in the second post, I will show you what we saw inside the building, and also the stunning views around it. There was so much to see, that I could do a full month's posts on it, but I will not as I will only show you the things that grabbed our attention.
But wait, as I saw something in that tree.
Can you see it? Look at the blue line in the center of the photo.
Ah! It was a Jackal Buzzard (Buteo rufofuscus) bird of prey.
He seemed to look at us in the car, but we were far away.
How's this for a landscape?
And then there was also a dam on the property.
Check out this peaceful shot that I got of the life on the dam. A pair of Egyptian geese, sleeping in the morning sun on a float, and a Coot swimming across in the background.
And then, we were getting closer to the building.
I have another exciting announcement to make. We encountered a great guy at the building's entrance, and an immediate friendship ensued. I think the fact that we only had coffee, alerted him that we were not ordinary luncheon visitors. He not only gave me permission to take photos, but at our departure also announced that he will book a tour of the wine cellar below the building for us. And so, we left the place very excited after I took shots from that balcony.
So, we shall wait for a tour booking, and of course I will show it to you.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the story.
