Cascading Poppies

The Church of St George the Martyr has covered the war memorial with textile poppies and the archway into the churchyard looks stunning too.

The church itself is an ugly 1960s concrete building so to make the poppies' photograph look better decided to use selective colour technique

Nice use of s/c.

Stunning on black

[Carole Sandford]

A stunning display, s/c certainly suits!

Loving the use of selective colour, something else I cannot do with my camera!

@365anne I use Ribbet.com Anne.
@carole_sandford you might see the archway tomorrow with similar effect, as the church is so ugly
@fbailey ooh is it, thanks for looking

This is lovely. I saw a church like this on the news and all the poppies were knitted. It's a lovely idea and very effective.

This is always so moving and lovely.
