Photographer’s Note

IN FLANDERS FIELDS.

In Flanders field the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

~~By Major John McCrae, May 1915.~~

I liked the angle of the picture. A clear sky would have been better-in my thought.

Interesting PoV, the colours in the flowers and the well with your background.

Hi Tim
Great shot and the angle makes it unique. We,in Canada, "remember" as you do on Nov 11 every year.
