Description
If you want to join me
In a world of imagination
Take a dive into what you can't see
Into your imagination

If you want to see heaven
Look around you to see it
Anything you want, just imagine it
There will never be a dark cloud in your mind

There is no world
Like the world of imagination
Living there, you'll be free
All you got to do is simply decide to be


****

The shot is taken at Palmachim, close to the beach of Rishon LeZion, Israel. I was passing there when I noticed while driving that there is a small field of poppies there. I was taking some pictures there (a few minutes) when a religious family came to that small field and gave me the opportunity to mix nature with human nature.
The red blurry parts are out of focus red flowers I was shooting through to help get the "dreamy" effect.

Welcome to my world of imagination.

This is breathtaking, yet still serene... and it looks very much like a painting with the little flowers making the blur amongst the poppies (they are poppies, yes?).

Thank you for this moment of beauty in my morning.

from the hardiverous complications of lust to the world of fantasia
its not enough, its not enough...

this body my senses posses
curdelled with fright
and outrageouse with complacentmentous courage.
i delve further and further untill i can see no more
finding there in that dark and shallow cavity of life we call earth
a pompous light bright as the night and as dark as the moon.

we seek pleasure!
screaming at the sun!

but we receive pain.



all for a shot of coffee drawn through the last breath of a lingering soul.
we die in light on a midsummer's night.

how do you do to put things "out of focus" ?? what is your kind of camera for this picture?
coz it is just amazing, it looks like a painting. but i think you're not just talented, you're also very lucky to be given such opportunity

The bit you entered as you comments reminds me of the song Gene Wilder sang in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. "If you want to view paradise, simply look around a view it..."

Great photo, very ethereal in an earthly way....if that makes any sense at all.
