POPPIES
Sunday morning a beautiful spring day
My daily bike ride alone in nature.
I saw this beautiful field of poppies, there was no wind ideal for a photo.
Poppies have been a real symbol in Flanders since the First World War
Are still used every year at commemorations at soldier cemeteries
A few more weeks and maybe I can go back to Bruges or Ghent, still afraid of Covid-19, I've been fully vaccinated for almost a month
Enjoy the flowers.

Hello John,
You couldn't see the Dutch tulip fields this year, but the Belgian poppy fields look just as good, and much more natural. To me poppies are the most beautiful flowers, often growing in very simple places like along roads. In this photo there is instead a road along a poppy field. The red and green tones are very beautiful and the road gives depth and a nice structure to the photo.
Next week I will get my second vaccination, but I think it will take a long time before I feel safe again.
Best regards,
Gert

Hallo John,
De klaprozen waren vandaag nog in het avondnieuws.
Er zouden er dit jaar meer dan andere jaren zijn ... maar ze hebben slechts een uiterst korte bloeiperiode.
Jij was er bijgevolg op tijd bij.
Meestal groeien ze langs de kant van de velden maar hier zien we een uitgestrekt veld vol klaprozen.
Prachtig perspectief waarbij de lange verlaten weg nog heel wat helpt.
Mooie compositie en uitstekende scherpte.
Vele groeten, Paul

Hallo John,
Het is een heel mooi gezicht hoe de vele rode klaprozen het groene veld bespikkelen. Ook de rest van het landschap ziet er prachtig uit op deze zonnige dag.

Hi John,
The length of the road is giving depth and perspective to the scene. the point of view is showing the details of the popies fields. It is clear and precise. Have a nice day.

Hello John,
The red poppies are a familiar sight to Australians due to the remembrance on the 11 November every year of soldiers lost in Belgium in WWI, at places like Flanders, Passchendaele and Ypres, and Amiens / Pozières in north France. The blood red flowers might be disappearing from Flanders but no such problem here where they form a veritable carpet. Good sharpness and the road at left adds linear perspective. A photo I found explaining the Pikedale soldier settlements around Amiens in Queensland below. Returned soldiers were given cash and blocks of land to assimilate back into society.

Hello John,
What a beautiful sight to come upon, on your bike ride! The poppies add a warmth and glow to the greenery of the field!
You have used the road as a most effective guide line, leading to a strong vanishing point.
Are those windmills in the distance, or wind turbines?
Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello John, a beautiful shot of the fields with the dazzling red poppies.
I like the road leading from the corner that takes us to the heart of the scene.
So many poppies, in the distance it looks like a red haze.
Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards,
Jean.

Hi John.
Wonderful perspective of this wide plain with green fields, although the one on the right stands out where the poppies put their beautiful touch of red.
Excellent POV, with very good clarity, color and sharpness to enjoy the details.
Enjoy a happy Sunday and a better start to the week.
Very best regards.
Luis.
PS.- All the photos that I will upload, in this new series that I dedicate to Madrid, will be accompanied by others in the Workshop.

Hello John,
Fields of poppies are as exciting as tulip fields. In Turkey, very rarely, we would see yellow versions of these poppies. Do you have them over there, too?
Regards,
MT
