Sunflowers are People Too

Whilst frolicking in the sunflower fields of South West France last week I started imaginging how alike fields of sunflowers are to crowds of people. Even without the help of the funghi growing in the more shaded areas the sunflowers began to remind me of the festival crowds, synonymous with Summer..

early crowd sunflowers

Here for instance, a smallish, bright crowd, out there early afternoon for some mediocre indie band or pop wannabees.

Flagging at the Front

Here we are later at the main stage, a massive crowd and, oh dear, some water needed at the front they look dehydrated and are flagging.

By now I was having fun with the sunflower crowd and could not get over the similarities to other festivals. As ever I was lost and looked around for my mates...

Can't Focus

And yes as ever focussing was difficult and everyone looked pretty much the same. At times like this you often get distracted by that particularly, in fact, impossibly attractive girl dancing on someones shoulders, moving like an angel and knowing all the lyrics. I turned around and there she was...

Standing Out

I had to give myself a talking to now. I'm in a field of sunflowers on my own, they are not a crowd and we are not at a festival. If we were there would be some impossibly tall bloke with two heads in front of us blocking our view. As all sunflowers have a single head and are exactly the same height I must come to my senses and get off to where I'm supposed to be at the supermarket,......unless, oi mate, we can't see .....
