Artificial
Taken from the front yard of a gorgeously landscaped winery, this is looking out on the hills across the road. In Sonoma County the vineyards have spread everywhere, creating an artificial landscape of monoculture. They do add greenery to an otherwise summer brown hillside, but knowing the danger of monoculture, and the chemicals used for these crops, it's hard for me to see their beauty.26 Things III item "Artificial".
