Middleport Poppies - Stoke on Trent

[@imagesBV]

The Poppies - wave and weeping window exhibition has been at Stoke in August and September....its only 5 miles away from me so I just had to go and see it (having seen similar at the 100th anniversary of the beginning rather than the end of WWI at the Tower in 2014)...here are some shots from Middleport (all 200D with 18-55 STM and 85mm f1.8USM)

These look impressive and good to see on the pot bank.

0126 for me rather than the colour popped version... really like that.

Out of interest I bet red is the most popped colour.... think phone boxes, letter boxes, poppies, seems to me it makes the biggest statement which is why it’s pretty much irresistible

Nice set Brian, thanks for sharing those. I got one from those that were at the Tower of London.

Re: Middleport Poppies - Stoke on Trent

Thanks Trev...I think these are for sale...around£30 each....I agree Bo...red is a bit special, I think we see red colour pop as a cliche but at the same time no other colour works so well.
It’s good to see Middleport presenting such a positive image for the city.

A very nice set

I was told many years ago that every picture needs a bit of red in it

Cheers,
John
