The story behind the image

I had never seen a field of sunflowers before and was overwhelmed when I did during our trip from the North of Germany to Portugal in 1988. Near Bordeaux the sunflower fields were ubiquitous, and I captured this photo during a stop.

I love the reduced color space and seemingly endless sea of yellow.

A good image to start this week. 🙂
