Poppy mower?

[dewmuw]

Some shots I took at the weekend - I wondered if the mower was used for chopping down the poppies?

Thanks. I didn't know the bee was there until I started processing! :)

Nice shots, but what else do you expect from a true red.

I'm glad you managed to get out for the 4 day UK summer.

The poppy shot is very good, i especially like the way you've captured it from the background. For me to get that kind of shot i would have to the country side where they seem to be.

I like your signature a lot. :)

Lovely photos Damian. I do love the mower in the field of poppies. :) One has to wonder why it was left there, it certainly looks like the plants grew up around it. :lol: :lol:

Thanks Geoff. A fellow red then?

I go to Barrow frequently with work so keep an eye out for a guy with a G3 and a POTN strap! :)

Thank you. This shot was actually taken in Liverpool so not the countryside at all.

Maybe it ran out of petrol and the owner had wandered off to fill a can and never came back? :)

Since 1968, lived around the corner and went to school with Crazy Horse, but only mange to get to the home of the gods once or twice a season.

That mower is an Allen Sythe:p

Great shots, It looks like the poppies won, the mower lost.

[dewmuw]

Thanks guys. And thanks for the ID on the mower.
