The thin red line

The theme for today was 'descend'. A rather tenuous link today, but it stuck me as soon as I saw this line of poppies while driving in to work this morning.

Poppies are a sign of remembrance of fallen soldiers, and how much lower can mankind descend than in war. But even in the midst of such chaos there can be beauty.

I was thinking on this all day while at work, and went to take the photo this evening. Several cyclists and runners went past while I was there - and they all looked at me like I was completely mad standing at the edge of a corn field in a shirt and suit trousers.
