    In the middle of Canada’s Saint Lawrence River near Alexandria Bay is an island called Just Room Enough Island. This tiny space is one-thirteenth of an acre and has a small vacation home built in the 1950s...

    Yes Mendy. Exactly. Many also have bee hives in and around their vineyards. At this point, the vines are loaded with grapes. The harvest will start in a few weeks. In about a month there will be this very sweet smell in the valley here of fermenting grapes. It can be a little strong at times. Then it's barreled up and moved into wine caves.

    ^ Additionally Mendy, Those are also sacrificial plants. In California we have moles and gophers. Those flowers give them free root food and they tend to leave the new vine plants alone.

    These will be for Chardonnay wines.





    The precision of wine vines growing. Around 3 years, they are split off to form this "Y" so grapes can be grown to make harvesting easier. At the end of each season, each of the vines are hand trimmed to manage the growth.

    Do you think they died deeks? Maybe you should read the caption.

    Or does it bother you to see fascists give up their guns?

    I was thinking how much that stash would be worth today. How much does a genuine Nazi WWII rifle go for?

    What did the yanks do, melt them down and turn them into transistor radios?


    Get on it Nev.

    Not that much, $2000-$4000, apparently. Let's go with $3000.

    They seem to be stacked in piles of 100. $300,000 per stack. At least 90 stacks in main view in the 2 main columns.

    Around $27,000,000 if me fingers and toes aren't letting me down.

    Jaffa (Israel) is one of the oldest ports the world, continuously being used for over 7,000 years. It predates Muslims, Christians, and Jews...

    Over 200 dead bodies lay along the routes to the top of Mount Everest, frozen and unable to be retrieved due to the harsh conditions. The bodies are used as landmarks with nicknames such as 'Green Boots' and 'Sleeping Beauty'...

    I was going to go there once to look after the airport's fuel storage tanks. But I am a civilian and it is not really a civilian installation!

    When I lived in The Chiltern Hills (just north-west of London), I planted a vineyard with 1,600 vines, featuring hardy species that could grow in the UK climate. No idea what has become of that vineyard, but here's a recent photo on the web from the current house owner.
