Poppy field. HANWE everybody!

Looking forward to spring!
Sadly poppies don't thrive here any more. A new farmer wants profitable fields and who can blame him? Btw, that white wall has been knocked down between 2015 and now. I can't find it on Google maps but I know exactly where I was at the time!
Sight and sound. A bit of Rachmaninov didn't harm anyone!

Oh no - how awful of that farmer to get rid of those amazing poppies. It's so rare to see fields with this amount of poppies in them. I think it's one of my favourite flowers, especially when they're displayed like this. This is a simply gorgeous picture

Andy Rodker replied to Jenny McIntyre:

Well, I came back in May every year since, but no. They've gone. So the dozen or so photos I took in 2015 and 2016 will have to suffice. When I took these, my sister's family were living in a small flat in Algete. When I moved back in with them a couple of years ago, they had moved into a bigger house overlooking these fields (you've seen other pics of this).
Thank you, Jenny!

Un beau et fascinant rendu bien enjolivé par ce magnifique tapis floral dominé par ces ravissants coquelicots et par cette fabuleuse profondeur.
Bonne et agréable fin de semaine.

I love poppy fields, pity that this one's gone.
You got me with the Rachmaninov there, now I'm straight on to Richter for Nr.2 and Horowitz for Nr.3;-)
