Palisade, Colorado

Vineyard vistas, peach orchards, high desert beauty

A bright, sunlit photo of a vineyard in Palisade, Colorado, showing orderly rows of grape vines leading toward the background. The most prominent feature in the background is the layered, arid, elevated desert landscape of the Book Cliffs (or Mount Garfield/Grand Mesa area), which provides a dramatic contrast to the green vineyard in the foreground. The sky is a clear blue, suggesting a sunny afternoon during the growing or harvest season.
