~Wine corks~

Description

While walking down a street in Charlottesville, Va. I noticed a storefront window filled with wine corks. I thought, how cool. This is a little place that serves wine, cheese and crackers. I love the abstract look of the corks. I took this handheld through a window, using ISO200, 1/250, F8. Hope you all enjoy your day!
