Algete Poppies.

Not only in the fields, but by the sides of all the country lanes. Now not so much.
For some reason I couldn't finish my 'note' about those three pines so I'lI complete it here. ... a successful promotional photo in the 60s was wildly popular and it gave many people the impression that Tuscany was the home of pines such as these.
I took the shot in 2016, a year before my sister bought her house on that hill you see here. I show you these pines as seen from a terrace where I now live: www.ipernity.com/doc/2247598/51409990/in/album/1289082 They are somewhat taller seven years on, and in fact if you look closely in either shot, there are actually four pines!

Great capture Andy, very beautiful colors.
Re: Fabulous capture, Jon. It's been a while since I've seen you on this site. I hope you're doing well.
I'm well but I have very little time for Ipernity.
Stay healthy

I understand, Jon. In the past I've had periods where I might be able to post one photo and reply to one comment and that was that!

I see what you mean - a beautiful garden indeed, and you've now poured water on my idea of Tuscany!!!! So it's all a myth? Such a shame, because the road with the pines/poplars along it is absolutely gorgeous.
