Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red II

Description

The Tower of London's World War I remembrance project is "Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red." From Aug. 5 (when Britain joined the War) until Armistice/Remembrance/Veteran's Day (Nov. 11) ceramic red poppies are being 'planted' in the Tower moat. Each represents a British or Commonwealth service member killed during the war. When it's done the moat will be filled with 888,246 poppies. Even now, half done, seeing the field really helps convey the staggering loss of life suffered. I found it to be quite touching, beautiful and sad all at once.
