Vineyards

 
Here is a very common sight, as you drive inland from the East Coast . . . grape vines as far as the eye can see. The landscape is very flat on the valley floors, and then there are very sudden, steep hills. The sheep and cattle graze on these incredibly steep inclines and it looks as if they might topple down, head over hoof, at any time. There are fences to keep them on the hills, as the flats are too valuable for grazing, and are used for produce (citris, grapes, avocado, figs, olives, etc.)
