Poppy field

Normally one associates Turkey’s Afyon province with poppies, but we found this field in Adıyaman, where Mount Nemrut is located.

We took several trips around Turkey’s East and Southeast, and these scanned print pictures are not arranged in any kind of chronological order (in case any Turkish friends are wondering what kind of a crazy route we took!).

Nemrut, a sense of scale, posted earlier:

0.00s full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

A beautiful, if ephemeral moment in what looks to be a seasonally-dry and drying landscape.

What a superb spread of poppies. They are a symbol of peace here and are worn on our Remembrance Day - 11/11 The image below is superb. Quite a find.
