Poppy field

Poppy field
Near my current home in Algete but I wasn't living here when I took this shot. It was taken on a visit to my sister's then home in a flat in Algete town. I have very probably posted this before but I felt it was worth another airing!

Andy Rodker club has replied to Peter Castell club
They have here too, Peter. These were growing in 2015 and I have seen very few since. The farm was bought by a more 'progressive' farmer to whom poppies are poison!

Ich erinnere mich an die herrllichen Getreidefelder im Baskenland, durchtränkt von Mohnblumen.
Freundliche Grüße und einen guten Abend

I first saw fields of poppies in the South of France way back in the early seventies, so I was pleased to see them near my sister's old flat in Algete (she still lives in Algete but in a larger house nearer where the poppy fields once were). Sadly the poppy fields haven't existed since they were got rid of by the farmer in 2015.

I took several dozen shots on a number of walks in May 2014 and 15 and although they were all posted on Pano, I'm not sure that all of them have seen the light of day here, so I'm in danger of a degree of duplication moving forward!

Andy Rodker club has replied to Pearl club
Sadly, Pearl, a new farmer has got rid of them all. This shot was taken in 2015 and I haven't seen fields of poppies here since then. :o(

Andy Rodker club has replied to Fred Fouarge club
I like poppies Fred but I can't go walking in the country like I used to (and as you can't either, I know). So I will sometimes use old photos. I once took many shots like this so I am never sure if I have posted this on ipernity before or not. Certainly I posted it on Pano!

I'm pretty sure you have posted this before mate..........but it's well worth another look. The poppies are really beautiful in the sunshine.

I haven't found any near me yet!
23 months ago.
Andy Rodker club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thank you, Keith!
The fact is that I took many similar shots back in 2014 and 2015 so that I cannot now tell which were posted before on ipernity. They would all have been posted on Panoramio. So I reckon it's about a 50 / 50 chance that this exact shot has been posted here before!
They would be at there peak about now and I hope to go for a walk to hunt another such field but the local farmers have been very anti-poppy these past few years!

Andy Rodker club has replied to Misou 49 club
Thank you, Misou! The fields around here used to be like this at this time of year but the local farmers took steps to eradicate the poppies a few years ago! So by posting this, I am celebrating the memory of poppy fields in years past!

Vermutlich ist es ein Weizenfeld und die Mohnblumen sind für den Landwirt nicht dasselbe wie für den erfreuten Betrachter oder Fotografen.

That it so, Traktor 49. Except that the fields here are planted to barley more than wheat.
