Summer in a Bottle

#1 Post by Oldblueraincoat »

Favourite Summer Wine

This is a test post - but this was a great wine and only €7 - going to adjust size of other pictures before posting 😊😊😊

That's a fabulous photo :mrgreen:

I feel as though I could pick the glass up and drink from it. 8-)

I'm useless at still life photography, I can never get the lighting right for some reason.

Great shot and I bet that's a really nice wine (I love a good Graves) !

Still trying to get the size right as most of my stuff comes up as too large - so experimenting with google 'paint' to resize - nearly there :D - Under 3 Euro a bottle available almost everywhere :)

Going out for dinner yesterday evening with friends to the local pizzeria, run by an Italian couple. An excellent quality/price ratio, hard to find in London, Paris, New York or Amsterdam. Pictured what you get when you order a "formule pizza": a salade and half a pizza quattro formaggi, so many to choose from. With a 1/4 of red wine, a bottle of cidre, a coca-cola light and coffees. Only 60 € for the four of us. Bon appetit:

Lovely photo RA, mouth watering food at a great price with a few glasses of wine - Might persuade us to venture out as Madame's 74th Birthday is coming up and we haven't been in a café or restaurant for nearly 18 months.

Hope it's still open :)

@ Oldblueraincoat, about resizing your pictures, " trying to get the size right as most of my stuff comes up as too large". I just checked it with my smartphone (Android-One, 11) and there everything is perfect. Supposing that the smartphone users outnumber the desktop and laptop addicts I wouldn't worry too much if I were you. Loosing sharpness as the inevitable outcome of downsizing would be a pity.

On my headstone it will say: Please switch off mobile phones. I'm trying to get some sleep.
