I, for one, regret the crass comments this thread has received.

Upon seeing photos of it for the first time yesterday, my screen went inexplicably misty.

The concept is elegant in its simplicity, the symbolism is very moving, and the execution is stunning.

Thanks for posting.

McCrae's poem (In Flanders Field, from which the poppy imagery is drawn) was an exhortation to fight on to victory. I think he'd view this exhibit with bemusement.
