Description
Auntietk uploaded a photo from the entrance of the WW1 Memorial in Kansas City earlier today, which you can see HERE.
This is another angle showing the bridge she was on when she took her photo, and the poppys below. Each one of those 9000 poppies represents 1,000 killed during the war. I took this photo in 2007 while touring the memorial with my dad.
Just FYI - I'm working on the next installment of the Girls From TNA, but things have been really busy the last month (and I'm so anal about everytinhg being 'just right' LOL). Hope to have it posted later this week.
Thanks again for all your clicks, comments, and faves! I really appreciate it! And thanks also for the many congrats and posts for our anniversary! You all are awesome!!

Poppies galore. First rate POV. For some reason all my shots of this bridge are from the other side. And an official happy anniversary to you and Jo!

Amazing shot Rod, I mean really amazing. But then I'm quickly learning that your skills with a camera go far beyond the point and click most of us possess. This image moved and confused me enough to go and do some research, which confused me even more, so I hope you dont mind indulging a few questions. The first question I had, “why poppies?” I found the answer on line. The poppy flower is often used to represent sleep or death. But why does 9000 poppies represent 1000 deaths? And I found that the Allies lost a combined 5.7 million troops, not counting civilians. Is this for a specific battle? Sorry for all the questions but I wanted to find out all I could about this, and info specific to the entrance was limited. Once again great shot.

Wow...that bridge is just amazing...being able to 'walk' over the field of poppies. Wonderful shot! I've not been to this memorial, but when we were in Hawaii on our honeymoon we went to the Arizona memorial and it was kind of eerie standing there, seeing a drop of oil rise to the surface every so often, knowing it came from a ship thta was sunk so very long ago...

That's a cool way to remember the terrible toll of that war. I'm still in awe of the great lengths humans will to in order to kill each other. Wow. Superb capture.
mrestey
Nice capture Rod. Wow! I boggles the mind to try to imagine all those lives snuffed out but the poppies help to put a little perspective on it though it is still hard to imagine. Thanks for sharing.

super pov shot rod, amasing how they done this wit hthe poppies. and also interested the way raddar is my friend. keep up the super art and photography..
pixeluna
I missed this one. That's a great capture, Rod. For some reason, looking down at those poppies, it reminded me of my trip in Hawaii a few years ago. Yes, it's the USS Arizona Memorial that I saw (similar comment as Erestorfan), it was the quietness of the place and knowing how many lives were taken during that fateful day of December 7, 1941, it will make your eyes well looking down at the vessel. Thank you for sharing this wonderful capture.
