If the guy surfing were replaced by a princess chariot, this image would kinda look like east Asian folk lore.

"In Flanders Fields" : In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

He left the yellow brick road,... and he'll sleep forever, dreaming of the huge rack of antlers he wanted so much to grow into wearing.

Are those California Poppies? They are beautiful when they bloom... as beautiful and fragile as the fawn. Nicely done. :):)

Tired of the cold monotony of endless white and flightless birds, Nanook of the North dreams of imigration to a warmer sjtuation, ... or at least, an extended vaca.
