vineyards

nice little demo of doing vineyard vines to make your own japanese vineyard, they exist! not quite as tedious as planting your own rice plants...

Amazing!

 

At first glance, I thought that had to be HO scale.

 

Video is a great "how-to" and makes me feel like I could make these fairly easy.

 

This is going on the list as another module to create.. once I (if I ever) commit to a specific modular design.

I want the hairspray that goes to 11. In grad school I made our lab stereo go to 11' was fun to watch folks reaction when they noticed!

 

Interesting little green houses on these vines in japan?

My home stereo measures volume in dB, and starts with negative numbers, that throws a lot of people off as well ;)

I can think of one place near the tracks in Japan that has plenty of vines- and that's on the Chuo Main Line in Yamanashi- specifically at Katsunumabudoukyou Station.  A view in autumn from a train descending the grade (sounds like a good 'ol 115 unit, its mt54's roaring away):

 

This one is more focused on the trains and the cherry blossoms, but you can see a few of the vineyards in the background of some scenes:

*that sukairo 115 unit  at 1:35 looks just as clean as when it left the factory, the car sides positively gleam (beautiful sound too)...
