Poppies, Barn and Rainbow

Great Coxwell Tithe Barn, Oxfordshire, England

June 2004 and I'm thinking I really should capture the glorious display of poppies in the local fields.
Then one evening my wife shouts 'rainbow!'.
I take some weak rainbow shots from our garden then remember the poppies by the Great Barn.
Breathless and soaking wet, I managed to grab this shot before the rainbow disappeared.
My personal favourite.
