[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this picture of a poppy field in the area of my hometown. During summer a lot of these fields can be found. The picture was taken at approx. 20.30 hrs. This will give the picture a natural warm glow.

A poppy is any of a number of showy flowers, borne one per stem, belonging to the papaver family. These can be enjoyed generaly in the wild.

A legend tells that eating food (e.g. muffins) that contains poppy seeds can make someone fail a drug test for opiates. This would be logical as the drug opium is produced from the unripe seed pods. This legend was tested on the television program MythBusters which confirmed that one could test positive for narcotics after consuming four poppy seed bagels.
