It was a painful and costly day that this was shot. Fell down the cliff at Mupe Bay and landed in a hole with Gorse bushes. Sprained my ankle badly. After i shot this i slipped going down the cliff the other side at Lulworth Cove. Twisted the ankle that i'd already sprained and trapped my fingers between my tripod legs. (I'm in a bit of pain by now!) Still had a 30 minute walk back to the car. Got to the car, by now my ankle really $%&£@* hurts. Went on to Portland. (Did i mention how windy and freezing it was?) Set up at Portland, took some photo's and then set up for the sunset. Went to check on my mates camera, as i left mine a huge gust of wind blew my camera and tripod over. Smashed the camera and lens on the rocks! I'm really starting to get pissed off by now! I could go on but needless to say the day didn't get any better. Tough Day at the Office

Taken from Wikipedia Remembrance Day (also known as Poppy Day, Armistice Day or Veterans Day) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth countries to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty since World War I. This day, or alternative dates, are also recognized as special days for war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries. Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the official end of World War I on that date in 1918; hostilities formally ended "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month" of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice ("at the 11th hour" refers to the passing of the 11th hour, or 11:00 a.m.) The day was specifically dedicated by King George V on 7 November 1919 as a day of remembrance of members of the armed forces who were killed during World War I. This was possibly done upon the suggestion of Edward George Honey to Wellesley Tudor Pole, who established two ceremonial periods of remembrance based on events in 1917.[1] The red remembrance poppy has become a familiar emblem of Remembrance Day due to the poem "In Flanders Fields". These poppies bloomed across some of the worst battlefields of Flanders in World War I, their brilliant red colour an appropriate symbol for the blood spilled in the war. Remembrance

The Beginning
I had a few questions on why the sunflowers are facing east. The phototropic ones only follow the sun for a period. When the sunflower is growing the stem & material is soft and pliable, the unbloomed bud is light and will follow the sun during this phase. However, when the sunflower blooms the sunflower slowly stops growing, instead putting the energy into the seed head. At this point the rest of the sunflower (stem, etc.) starts to solidify, and will eventually solidify facing in an eastwardly direction and the bloom will no longer follow the sun. So, the phototropic ones do follow the sun but only for a time and once bloomed will eventually "freeze" facing in an eastwardly direction. Break the rules
