When visiting the Childress Vineyards in Lexington, NC I exited the winery at one point to admire the view from the porch. Looking to the side I was struck by the symmetry in the series of doorways leading you through a corridor of hard stonework in brown/gray/white tones and varying shadows exiting onto a green, soft sunlit landscape with a Lilac bush almost perfectly centered on the ground. The perspective added to the exit seeming much smaller and very far away.

Standard Photoshop filters were used to adjust color, contrast, and exposure, as well as a little sharpening.
