Description A chance capture. Driving by in the car and saw the poppies and the gathering clouds and saw possibilities. Stopped and took a dozen or so shots and drove off again. Quick tweek in PS to darken the sky and increase the contrast on the poppies.

A very well deserved DD, where did you manage to park the car...safely...along that road ? I have stopped a good bit before you reach this particular part of the road but it can be a bit scary. I like the fact that you share your locations, it is very un-selfish (if that's a word) of you.

SnapperRod In reply to OSTEC [2010-11-30 08:28:15 +0000 UTC]

Cheers Leslie, appreciated. To park just take the little side road on the map by the 'A', before the dockyard junction. That road leads up to a cemetary, signposted from main road, and a few houses along the road that goes right. Up there you are well out the way from the main road.

Adding locations is not a proble and it adds a bit more flavour to the image.
