They grow 'em bigger here...

I have never seen such big poppies as I have here in Seattle. I don't know if gardeners pump them with Miracle Gro or not, but these red ones on a front lawn in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle were as wide as a salad plate.

  A beautiful urban sunset over New Belgrade. The 'smoke' from the stacks on the left is actually just steam from the heating plant....
