In Remembrance |
This magnificent poppy was one of just a handful that grow wild on the corner of West 11th Avenue and Yukon Street in Vancouver. They're stunning, vibrant and grow so large that there's only a small window of opportunity to photograph them in all their radiant splendour before their heavy heads start to hang or get beaten down by rain.
I currently have this image as my profile picture on Facebook and many friends have asked to use it to do the same. I'd like to hope it goes even a small way towards honouring the bitter-sweet glory of those who gave their lives.
