Cascade of Poppies - Tower of London Plaque

A photograph I took in July 2014 whilst helping to plant poppies at the Tower of London. This installation was called Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, marking the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War. Created by ceramic artist Paul Cummins, with setting by stage designer Tom Piper. 888,246 ceramic poppies were planted, each poppy representing a British soldier who fell during World War One Please take a look at the Poppies Collection as there are plenty more pictures including night time ones :-)
