ZIZO - Poppies

For weeks I have planned to go to London to see the poppy sculpture 'Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red'.  I have seen so many photos, breath taking images that moved and made me want to go even more.  I knew I would always live with regret if I let this spectacle and stunning tribute pass.

And so today I caught the train, joined the mass of people who were of the same mind, and took my turn to pay my respect and take photos.

 

It was just as I imagined, I'm so glad that I went.

    wish I was closer to London so I could see it in person - such a stunning idea from the artists to demonstrate how many died

    What a stunning photo. I had no idea it was so big ... Lovely to see it here, even if I can't get to see it in person.
