A poppy field in summer – red poppies beneath a blue sky by Laura Georgi Tier- und Ladschaftsfotografie

The camera is almost at ground level, right in the middle of a poppy field: this is what summer looks like
when you make yourself small. Hundreds of poppies stand shoulder to shoulder,
some wide open, others still hanging as buds; in between are the green,
bristly stems, the odd blade of grass cutting across the frame, and a
few white daisies. Above the field stretches a summer sky with high
white cumulus clouds.

The low angle makes all the difference. Instead of looking down on a field from above
, you are standing right in the middle of it – the flowers stretch to the horizon and beyond
, with the sky beginning directly behind them. The stalks in the foreground remain
out of focus and drape over the image like a green curtain, giving the photograph
depth and a sense of movement. You almost feel as though you can see the wind.

In terms of colour, the image is a triad of signal red, rich green and sky blue with
white – it could hardly be more vibrant, and yet it doesn’t appear garish because the colours
appear exactly like this side by side in nature.

As wall art, this motif brings a summery atmosphere into the room, all year round.
It suits bright, cheerful interiors and works particularly well in
living rooms, kitchens, dining rooms, hallways, children’s rooms, cafés, bakeries, doctors’ surgeries,
waiting areas and offices that lack colour. On acrylic glass, the red
shines particularly brightly, whilst on canvas the meadow appears softer and more picturesque.

A gift for gardening enthusiasts, meadow lovers, country folk and anyone who associates
summer with a single colour.
