The Tower of London Poppies - a photo on Flickriver

This incredible and extremely moving art installation at The tower of London is of 888,246 hand made ceramic poppies. One for every British or Colonial military fatality during the First World War. Actually seeing them is quite overwhelming. The sheer number of them. It's difficult to equate that to human lives lost. poppies.hrp.org.uk/about-the-installation
