Where I grew up in Illinois, there were quite a lot of apple orchards. I miss this time of year and smell of freshly picked apples all together in one place. I especially miss the fresh apple cider! It was the best.
Interesting that the trees are so tall. In New England, the apple trees are pruned so that a human can reach the tops without a ladder, or sometimes with only a short ladder.
Maybe some will be exported to us.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, Karl!
What a wonderful perspective in the first photo.
ReplyDeleteLooks a little scary when they are on a slope.
Interesting picking method.
ReplyDeleteLots of apple pies ahead 😊

ReplyDeleteYes it's that time of year!
ReplyDeleteNice perspective in the first photo.
It seems to be quite a slope! A busy time for apple farmers here as well. I'm sure my cousin's putting in long hours at the moment.
ReplyDeleteApples are one of the treats of the fall season. Love the symmetry in your first photo. Those trees must grow on quite a steep hill.
ReplyDeleteThat is an ingenious method to provide for picking apples. I wonder if all orchards are hand-picked. There's nothing like a good apple!
ReplyDeleteA tasty time of year, Karl!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to spend some time wandering around an orchard like this with my camera.
