Death by flowers

From purple woodlands full of bluebells to golden fields of rape flowers, the Sussex landscape is covered in vibrant colours at this time of year. Currently, there are great swathes of agricultural land carpeted in these deep yellow flowers, the seeds of which produce the prized Sussex rape seed oil.

This shot was planned with my husband, who wanted to see if we could get a photo of someone drowning in flowers. Are the hands asking to be saved from death by blossom or are they surrendering to the joy of golden bliss? I truly don’t know. More landscape photographs can be found here.
