We went to see the Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red at the Tower Of London, we visited when it was just starting in August and it was a quiet time, chance to stand and remember those fallen in World War 1. http://www.giventodistractingothers.co.uk/2014/08/blood-swept-lands-and-seas-of-red.html
I wanted to see it finished and found the crowds immense this time, so photos were trickier this time and time to contemplate the lives gone was also more difficult. If you do go I suggest going around to the Tower Bridge side to be able to see the poppies. This also gives you a chance to see Traitors Gate and we spotted a Yeoman Warder talking to the crowds.
Great photo! Very thought provoking x
ReplyDeleteYou are the 2nd person I've heard say the crowds are really overpowering
ReplyDeleteSo poignant to see for real I bet x
ReplyDeleteVery thought provoking, I love the unique angle you've captured this

Love the way you've framed this photo - we went to see the poppies last week and found them very sobering although felt the crowds detracted a little from the impact of it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo - I would never have thought to frame a shot that way!
