Description: Altadena has always been popular for its colorful poppy fields, and before the turn of the century it was even more popular, for the sailors on ships coming into coast harbors could see the "flaming" fields from far off, and often used them as navigation aids. There were always enough for folks to pick, too. These peopele are about at the spot where Lake Avenue now meets Woodbury Road. Photo dated: July 16, 1955.
