The Lancaster Estate winery, near Healdsburg, where the wedding took
place. The grand house across the valley was the location of the
wedding reception. I took many pictures of it.
I took this picture the following morning.
| Another perspective of the winery's grounds, and also of the surrounding
landscape.
| Ditto.
| Another view. In the distance is the tasting room (building) and, near
the white box just right of center, the entrance to the wine cave.
After the wedding reception dinner, we headed down to the wine cave for
dancing and dessert!

| A nearby hill. The look of brown grass with scattered trees is pretty
typical for this area--the Russian River communities--this time of year.
| A close-up of the grapes.
I took this picture the following morning.

| A creative way to present name cards / seating assignments. In
particular, the symbol on each card corresponds to the table assignment.
(The grouping into flower-beds is irrelevant; it's simply alphabetical.)
I wondered if this was a Game clue.
| Di Yin, M, and M practicing getting in position for the
ceremony.
| Ditto.
| Later, at the beginning of the official ceremony, Di Yin stands in
position waiting for the approach the wedding party.

| A panorama of the inside the Lancaster Estate house, which I previously photographed, as seen
laid out for the wedding reception but before any guests arrived. An
excellent house: notice the outdoor pool overlooking the winery, the
blend of indoor and outdoor seating, and the panoramic views.
| The indoor dining room and its fireplace flanked by picture windows,
opening to the view in the opposite direction. I took this picture
standing in roughly the same spot as the previous panoramic picture,
just facing in the opposite direction.
| Modern art adorning the wall of the indoor dining room.
| More modern art on the opposite wall.
Artificially brightened.

|
| The living room.
| The kitchen's eating area and its incredible view. An excellent design.
| The hallway along the kitchen has a painting of the identical to the
view from the kitchen, the same view you'd see if you could see through
the wall the painting is hanging on. Neat!
