Help! I'm being converted to the possibilities of phone lines! The intersections here and the graphic division is really fine.

Incredible composition, Grant. Again, I love how you've captured this from a corner view and those power lines really add to this.

@sherri: thanks sherri
@Sylvain: but the best kind to me :)

Nice corner, I look for poles and wires everyday now but I can´t find any!!!!
Like the tones in the sky too.

@Nilla: sweden is too tidy!

I like the corner doorway and the limited windows on this place. The poles and power lines are an integral part of this picture's success. Nice one.

My god Grant - do you ever miss? And totally agree with GJC and the graphic value of the wires/lines. With or without strong shadows you create the feel of emptiness and a classic image from our culture.

@daina: thanks daina. i've been trying to get a usable shot of this place for some time.

This sure conveys the feeling that you're taking photos in a ghost town. I'd love to find an actual ghost town.

@Twelvebit: me too. we've actually thought about a road trip for that purpose.
Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United States
I was going to say this was a - 'Lucky' - capture. But realize the complex attention is far beyond mere luck. This is very good. I love the utility lines and the geometry they add. A fabulous image, Grant.

@Stephen Phillips: luck's always helpful. thanks stephen.

i wonder if one day we are going to miss all those poles and wires.
they are almost our heritage.

@paolo: i know. although, i think it'll be a long time before they're completely gone.

The power lines do transform this picture, give it a sense of place-history in my eyes.

This old place has a certain attraction, although it is rundown. Super composition.
Either it's a very quiet town, or this is the edge, but it seems dead.

How funny- my wife used to work at a printing company called Studio 12, also with crackly paint job. Great shot.

To me personally, I wish the poles and wires were'nt there, I wish I could see it unobstructed. But, there're a fact of life, can't avoid them.

Hey, I can see clouds, and there is no sun. Ok, you don't need any light for a wonderful composition. That is talent.
