Flower Power

Kilconquhar, near Pittenweem, Fife, Scotland.

One of the most fabulous displays of poppies I have ever had the good fortune to stumble across. It was totally unexpected and I was on my way to a wedding. I returned the next day and spent the best part of 5 hours photographing it with the kind permission of the farmer. This was taken after a storm had passed and the sky had lightened significantly. No direct sunlight but bags of detail in the flowers. The red and white is I feel even stronger than a field of just bright red poppies.
