Holy cow. That's great. Is that.... (gulp)... your property?

i wish but then again that would be tragic and would likely hurt mentally physically and financially.

Awesome photo! An incredible number of apples. A cider maker's dream.

these are apparently not photoshop or AI. the article calims the orachrd flooded from hurricane ophelia in 2017 breaking all the apples off the trees then drained to leave this scene .

Based on the apparent grade in the photos, I am skeptical of the flood story. That wound be a biblical flood.
I've been wrong before though...

A bit of a side story... There is an orchard in Victoria (one of Oz's southern states a few hundred Kms south of us as the crow flies), called Bellevue. Some years ago they were hit by a summer hail storm that trashed the apples from the trees. They decided that the only thing to do was to juice them. That is now their main business. They sell single variety juice under the name "Summer Snow".... just think outside the box

Ireland has been getting even wetter due to rising Atlantic temperatures. The trend has been affecting apple crops disproportionately for several years.
