Seawall Poppies, Denmark, 1997

Poppies bloom next to a lichen-covered seawall in the handsome and civilized country of Denmark. A land of five and a quarter million souls, Denmark is sandwiched between the North Sea and the Baltic, just north of Germany.

(Text adapted from and photograph shot on assignment for, but not published in, "Civilized Denmark," July 1998, National Geographic magazine)
