Poppy field, Algete

Sadly these haven't been seen here since 2016. A change in farm ownership put paid to the proliferation of poppies at this time of year (mid May) in order to increase profitability. Poppies are picturesque but they render the grain un-harvestable. I post this now as this is what the fields around here USED to look like at this time of year!
Just noticed this was taken exactly 8 years ago! How time flies when you're having fun!!
Suggest on large and maybe large again..
Probably posted before, but I wanted to pay homage to these fields as they were once.
Sight and sound. This touched me. David Bowie's daughter. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ss2qEgU0ZQ
