Autumn Comes To The Vineyards At Polemi, Paphos Region, Cyprus

Autumn in Cyprus is delightful.  The temperatures are still in the mid-twenties, and the sun still shines most of the time.

Peace comes to the vineyards in Polemi around our villa.  The cooler nights turn the vine leaves golden, such that the late afternoon sunshine really brings out the colours.

Interestingly this year many grapes remained unpicked on the vines.  Why?  Don't know.  From a photography perspective they just added to the experience, the sun glistening on their dark skins.

A further dimension is that the ground around the vines gets cultivated to stop the weeds taking hold.  The soil is still turned using traditional implements, leaving interesting graphic shapes in the fields.  These too are an interesting study through the viewfinder! 

All in all, an interesting afternoon stroll through the vineyards.

Check out my pictures of the vineyards around Polemi.
