Einen schönen #Mohntag allerseits with a throwback to the 2014 #artInstallation 𝘉𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘚𝘸𝘦𝘱𝘵 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘚𝘦𝘢𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘙𝘦𝘥 that "planted" 888,246 ceramic red #poppies in the moat of the #TowerOfLondon to commemorate the centenary of the outbreak of World War I. Each #poppy represented one British or Colonial serviceman killed in the War.

This year, another poppy-based installation, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘙𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘴, with almost 30,000 ceramic poppies from the original installation, was put in place at the Tower to mark 80 years since VE Day and the end of World War II in Europe. You can visit it until #Armistice Day on 11 November 2025.

(Edit: The last one is a panoramic shot which probably won't be displayed properly in the Pixelfed app, but should be alright on desktop)

A striking high-angle shot captures the "Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red" poppy installation at the Tower of London. Thousands of ceramic poppies flood the dry moat around the historic stone fortress, creating a vibrant red sea that contrasts with the grey walls of the Tower. A large crowd of people stands at the foreground and along the perimeter, observing the poppies. In the background, the modern, tapering glass facade of The Shard pierces the cloudy, overcast sky.

A vibrant, eye-level shot captures the "Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red" poppy installation at the Tower of London. Thousands of ceramic poppies, symbolising fallen soldiers, form a striking cascade into the dry moat and filling the foreground with a sea of intense red. The historical stone walls and towers of the Tower of London stand prominently under a cloudy sky. In the upper left, a crowd of onlookers observes the installation, and in the distance, modern city buildings and a construction crane are visible, juxtaposing the historic site with contemporary London.

A wide panoramic shot captures the "Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red" poppy installation at the Tower of London. Thousands of vibrant red ceramic poppies fill the expansive dry moat, creating a striking field of colour that curves around the ancient stone walls of the Tower. Large crowds of visitors are visible on both the left and right sides of the image, observing the poignant display. The sky above is overcast, and in the distance, parts of the London skyline with modern buildings can be seen.

An elevated view of an entrance to The Forbidden City in Beijing, China on a hazy day.

I don't remember THIS in Wolf Hall.

#TowerOfLondon

A huge scary dragon with glowing red eyes. It is made from various types of weapons and armour. It stands on a raft of gunpowder barrels in a stonewalled room with a wooden ceiling and floor.

The Tower of London, officially His Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London, is a historic castle on the north bank of the River Thames in central London. It lies within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, which is separated from the eastern edge of the square mile of the City of London by the open space known as Tower Hill.

It is also famous for being one of the most-infamous prisons during the Middle Ages in English history.

This image shows the Tower of London, a historic fortress and former royal palace in London, England. The photo captures a view of the tower beside the River Thames. You can see the distinct medieval architecture with the stone walls and turret-style towers topped with four spires each. The entrance called "Traitor's Gate" is visible at riverside level, historically used to bring prisoners by boat into the tower. The scene includes blue skies and some greenery around the structure, with a few people visible along the riverside walkway.

We are all bodies of water, guarding the mystery of our depths, but some of us have more to guard than others...

The image shows a person dressed in a traditional British ceremonial military uniform, typically worn by the guards at royal residences. The uniform consists of a red tunic adorned with white belts and a black bear-fur cap, and the individual is carrying a rifle with a mounted bayonet. They are standing in a sentry box, which is black and part of a stone building with a single window pane visible, also featuring part of a door with glass panels. This attire and setting suggest that this might be somewhere around a significant historic or royal site in the United Kingdom, where such guards are commonly found.
