Hey! These are some great shots!
Are we kind of constantly getting better? We seem to reach a very sophisticated level here! That's great.

My pictures are "in process"... Wink

I hope we are! The combination of looking at others work and plenty of practice has got to be the key. There are so many inspirational shots on this forum alone.

Carsten - The frosted roses are particularly good they capture the later flowering we now experience combined with the more traditional seasonal experiences.

I love this shot for the calendar Richard, it captures exactly the English countryside in the dark, misty days of December.

Here's a quiz question - who knows what is being grown in the field in front of the building? The location of the picture where Richard comes from, plus the strange-shaped things on top of the roof give the answer. If you live (or have lived) in UK or Ireland you probably know the answer to this, so please don't give it away - this question is meant for others.

Beer is made with cereals, what I see there are woody plants that look more like vines (although from the photo is not easy to tell)

Nice gloomy photo, Richard! Orio - in order to make beer you need hops too. In local forests grows a lot of hop (Humulus lupulus) Smile Look HERE

Ah, it's the lupulus then. I know the plant well. Very common forest vine and often used in traditional medicine (or omeopathy if you prefer). I didn't know it is also used to make beer. But on the other hand, beer making is not one of our strong points here. We only drink it Very Happy

So, what are those roof cones used for? Most obvious use would be gathering rain waters, but I'm not sure how this could be of use for beer making. So I'm not going to guess.

You're on the right track. English ale is made from malted barley as the cereal component,
the other ingredient does grow on vines...
