Description

An aerial view of a winery on the shore. A tall chimney rises among low, tile-roofed sheds and a multi-storey block, with stacked containers in the yard between the buildings. Rows of vines and orchards with trees lie inland, and the sea and a narrow shoreline fringed with bushes fill the lower part of the picture.

Description, scan 2
Aerial view of a winery beside the sea: pale sheds with tiled roofs and a tall chimney stand around a yard, with stacks of containers on the ground. Vineyard rows and trees fill the land behind the buildings, and the shoreline runs along the bottom edge. A printed text block sits below the photograph, with a handwritten number in the lower right corner.
