We also have sunflower fields, among the other food crops. In the background is one of the edges of Villigen.

Who and why
I started this blog in Jan 2007 as a member of the City Daily Photo family representing the village of Villigen. I'm a transplant to Switzerland and keeping the blog was a way for me to keep a record of new things I learnt while sharing with others. I was on a long LONG break, and now I post only sporadically although I still have hopes of posting more regularly. Thanks for stopping by and drop me a line if you have questions or comments. Camera and other information at the foot of the page. 20150322

Camera information
My current camera is an Olympus OM-D E-M10 (2014). Main lens: Panasonic 20mm f/1.7. Zoom/macro: Olympus M.Zuiko 60mm f/2.8. Until mid-2014 I had an Olympus PEN-EP2 (2010). Up until June 2010 I used a Panasonic Lumix FZ7 (2006). Occasionally there may appear photos taken with either a Nikon Coolpix 950 that I've had since 2000 or a used Nikon Coolpix 990 I acquired in 2009.

Over here in france we have sunflower fields. The french name is opposite "tournesols". The flower that look at ground.
That's a lonely looking sunflower poking it's head up there. I liked your comment about my "jewel-like" flower - it does have that kind of effect
Interesting. Sunflowers that are grown here are harvested for the seeds which are sold to consumers.I assume that is the same where you live. Or do you have other uses for this marvelous plant? Nice photograph.

ohh I love sunflowers:)
Sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers.
Please stop by my site tomorrow, it will be my 100th post.
Wonderful summer shots you did lately! I particularly enjoyed your 'last summer rays' picture
Oh sunflowers! They always bring a smile with them, don't they?
:)
It seems that sunflowers are quite the popular flower.
Claude: That's interesting. In the later stages, they do look at the ground when they become so heavy with seeds. But, in their earlier days, they're all sun-facing, and sun-tracking.
Abraham: I think the same is done here. Seeds to be used as is, to be pressed for oil, to be used in breads. Yes, just saw a sign for sunflower seed bread at the local bakery today.
Love these. My wife just put some dead ones into the garbage bin. So sad they don't last forever... :(
Sunflowers are my favorite flowers: they add cheer to any surrounding......beautiful place :)
