A lot of poppies

[pilottttt]

We found this poppy field near the city of Gazalkent, Uzbekistan. Poppies fade very quickly, but we still managed to photograph them.

For details (in Russian), see here.

Beautiful! I love the hints of the wider landscape, too

Yes! That one that looks curved at the top is amazing!

This is the set for a grand adventure about to happen.

Well, yes, that's right - I remember one little episode from "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz".

The other thing scarlet poppies connote to me is Remembrance Day in Britain, Canada, and Australia (and to a lesser extent Memorial Day, observed in late May, here in the U.S.; November 11 is devoted to honoring living veterans.) What connotations do they have out your way?

[pilottttt]

Probably, they are also associated with pastry.

I was being a little naughty with the fisheye lens ;)

It was an overcast day, and thanks to this it turned out that the bright red poppies stand out so much above the soft colors of the rest of the landscape.
