Which one of these photos is your favorite Napa vineyard view? (For you Oregon wine lovers, Napa does have some nice scenic views. I grew up there, but matured in Oregon.)
Since I'm trying to learn how people respond to my photos, please comment with a Tweet-sized note explaining your choice.

#6 for me. I like the depth and colors.
2, 5 are cloud-centric & dark. 1, 7, 8 & 9 feel oddly like cemeteries. 3, 4 & 6 are truly scenic. #3.
#8 Depth of vineyard and mustard color says NAPA
