#dwwc14: vineyards around Chardonne

 Autumnal vines above Vevey

Yesterday afternoon we skipped part of the 2014 DWCC to look at vineyards around Chardonne above Vevey. The views were spectacular, although challenging to capture probably because of the contrast in light and the haze.

After our drive up into the Juras we headed to Nyon in time to catch the last hour of sunshine. This evening the fading light was superb on Lac Léman and across to the French Alps.
