Historic Vineyard Society (HVS) is a non-profit organization located in Carmel, California. The society was founded in 2010 with a mission to preserve and promote California's historic vineyards. The organization is dedicated to identifying and documenting vineyards that are over 50 years old and have made significant contributions to California's wine industry.

The HVS works to provide recognition and support for these historic vineyards, which are often overlooked in the wine industry. The society also advocates for the preservation of these vineyards and promotes their economic value to the wine industry and local communities.

The HVS provides a platform for vineyard owners and winemakers to share their knowledge and experience with each other, as well as to educate the public about the importance of preserving California's viticultural history. The society also organizes events and tastings to showcase the unique character and quality of wines produced from historic vineyards.

The HVS has grown significantly since its inception and now boasts a membership of over 200 individuals and businesses. The society's efforts have helped to raise awareness of the importance of preserving California's historic vineyards, and its work has been recognized by industry leaders and wine enthusiasts alike.

Monterey Bay Harbor A night photograph of the Northern sky as viewed over Monterey Bay. The photograph was taken from several vantage points along the Monterey Recreation Trail. The Monterey Recreation Trail runs from Monterey to Pacific Grove, CA.
Startrails of Auriga over Monterey Bay Thirty-Six 20 second exposures (12 minutes) combined using the Startrails.exe program. Auriga can be seen in the North-Eastern sky. The green trail in the bay is from a passing boat.
Monterey / Cannery Row – Fishermen’s mural (# 0061) This particular section of Cannery Row is called <u><a href="https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=55191" rel="noreferrer nofollow">McAbee Beach</a></u> in honor of a failure by John McAbee, who purchased the beach around 1900 and planned (but failed) to create a small tourist attraction here of cottages and rental boats. There is no explanation for the simple mural of fishermen, but a nearby placard notes that Portugese whalers used this beach in the mid-1800s for catching whales to extract the oil for lamps, until that failed due to the discovery of kerosene in the late 1800’s. And then, after McAbee’s efforts failed, the beach became the home for a Chinese fishing village that led to the sardine industry. So, there is a long history fishing being launched from this beach. ******* Note that there appears to be either a seal or an otter a little past the break water. It appears to be floating on its back, so probably an otter.
Monterey / Fisherman’s Wharf distressed seal? (# 0060) When I walked out on the wharf there were a small number of people watching this seal. When I came back 20 minutes later, this seal was roughly in the same spot, acting weird. It would wander closer to the water and then back up, and was bobbing its head up and down, and did this for a couple of minutes. I looked around the wharf to see it there was someone there in some sort of uniform to report it, but of course one can never find an ‘official’ when one wants to.
Monterey / Fisherman’s Wharf (# 0056) Last Christmas at Monterey’s Fisherman’s Wharf.
Monterey / Fisherman’s Wharf ?amiss? (# 0057) Something’s amiss here! What’s a real commercial fishing boat doing so close to Fisherman’s Wharf, a site for tourist and sports fishing boats?
PG Point Pinos / Subaru deer?? (# 0054) Given all of the ads with Subarus driven by dogs, maybe he commutes to golf in the nearby Subaru….
Pacific Grove / wave break (# 0043) FYI, the group clambering over the rocks is five women.
Pacific Grove / contrasts (# 0041) BTW, this picture is a good example of how direction on the Monterey Peninsula can be confusing, as I note in a comment below. We're actually looking NNE here across Monterey Bay -- the Pacific ocean is a little behind me, off my left shoulder. One way to get oriented is to note that the towers of Moss Landing generating plant are faintly visible near the left side of the picture. When I was stationed in Monterey in '67-'68, my barracks window looked over the bay and the sun set behind the barracks, seemingly over land (over the peninsula).
Castroville / Japanese Schoolhouse internment - returning (# 0024) Life after the war, returning to no home and with no resources, to hostile environments that were slow to accommodate their former neighbors. Per information on a related <u><a href="https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=63772" rel="noreferrer nofollow">site</a></u>, due to hostility there was no reestablishment of the Japanese community of Castroville, though some went to work in the canneries in nearby Monterey. See the <u><a href="https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=63714" rel="noreferrer nofollow">schoolhouse marker</a></u> for detail of the text. <i>Use the “Castroville Japanese Schoolhouse” tag to connect the pictures.</i>
Castroville / Japanese Schoolhouse internment - baggage (# 0974) Becoming human baggage shipped to Salinas Rodeo Grounds, living in horse stalls, going hungry…. A version of this same placard was posted a few months earlier, as I was traveling: <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/donbrr/53370364160">www.flickr.com/photos/donbrr/53370364160</a> See the <u><a href="https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=63714" rel="noreferrer nofollow">schoolhouse marker</a></u> for detail of the text. <i>Use the “Castroville Japanese Schoolhouse” tag to connect the pictures.</i>
Castroville / Japanese Schoolhouse internment - home (# 0013) Signs telling the story of Japanese settlement of the area in the 1920’s. See the <u><a href="https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=63714" rel="noreferrer nofollow">schoolhouse marker</a></u> for detail of the text. <i>Use the “Castroville Japanese Schoolhouse” tag to connect the pictures.</i>
