 I have a gazillion sunflower pics. I live in southcentral Pennsylvania and sunflower fields are freakin' EVERYWHERE!!!

The particular field is slightly east of Chambersburg. It's a farm and they let people just come and wander around through the flowers, take some home with them (They have an honor box) and it's a lovely experience. There must have been 50 people at the main area outside the fields, yet everyone was reverentially quiet and people smiled and nodded to each other as we wandered around through the flowers.

Beauty and peace...

For those curious about the magnitude of these fields......the image with Vivi was just at the front of this field....

And when you turn around 180°, this is the field on the other side of the road in to the farm.
