Poppies surround the Tower of London

This is one of the most impressive displays of public art I have seen in London. This progressive installation, titled Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, marks the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War. Exactly 888,246 ceramic poppies have been hand made by artist Paul Cummins, to represent soldiers who lost their life, and have progressively filled the Tower of London’s moat. It was great to see the crowds of people out to see this spectacle, without entry fee. It was also fun to hear parents telling thier children of the significance of each poppy. And it was amazing to see the enormity of this vision...wow...
