Good piece, thanks. I remember a lucky walk in the wine country of southern Baden several years ago, when the apple harvest was overwhelming, and there were thousands of apples left on the ground. You couldn't possible eat or gather them all.

A friend is an expert on the 19th-c French artist Millet, who did a painting "Des Glaneuses" (or Les Glaneuses, The Gleaners), which is how I learned about the term:
