Anne Amie Sunrise 10/29/07

You start thinking you're spending too much time at work when you are photograping the dawn that followed the sunset you shot the night before. After all the entire world had spun completely around, but you just got a bit of sleep and you're back at work. However, the beauty of sunsets and sunrises in the Willamette Valley are worth missing a little sleep to experience. Pictured here, the sun rises over the Dundee Hills overlooking over our Anne Amie Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir. As these first rays illuminated the valley, pickers were harvesting the last of our müller thurgau, which is located in the opposite direction on the west side of our estate. The last of our own grapes are now picked and just some pinot blanc remains, which will be harvested on Wednesday.
