New on 500px : Future Gold by FlorentCourty by FlorentCourty
A nice sunset shot last week. Golden wheat fields went even more golden a bit before sunset, which is now very late now as we are in the longest days of the year..
On the right, there is a field of sunflowers, they will bloom soon… hence the title.

500px Editors’ Choice : Break the rules by AndreasJones
I had a few questions on why the sunflowers are facing east.
The phototropic ones only follow the sun for a period. When the sunflower is growing the stem & material is soft and pliable, the unbloomed bud is light and will follow the sun during this phase. However, when the sunflower blooms the sunflower slowly stops growing, instead putting the energy into the seed head. At this point the rest of the sunflower (stem, etc.) starts to solidify, and will eventually solidify facing in an eastwardly direction and the bloom will no longer follow the sun. So, the phototropic ones do follow the sun but only for a time and once bloomed will eventually “freeze” facing in an eastwardly direction.
