Our little farm was originally a soldier settlement property for returned soldiers from WW1. The soldiers named the various small townships involved in the project - and they chose to name them after the very battlefields where they lost so many comrades. Hence, our farm is located in Amiens, Qld Aust. There is a remembrance site in the town, and these poppies have been planted there.
This is the first time i have ever had a chance to really take a close look at their interesting structure. They seem to be remarkably hard to photograph with my little camera. :)
Beautiful collage & interesting info on the soldier settlements. I had no idea that there was an Amiens in QLD - I've been to Amiens in France, it is a beautiful place.
