The crossing powerlines create a grid opposed by the random vehicle tracks below. Leaves me speechless Grant.

Mindy from United States
What's not to love? Somehow reminds me of a game of Cat's Cradle.

@Mindy: i see it. i never learned that one - maybe because no sisters...
lisa v from Gawler, Australia
They always remind me of a child's version of people, with very long legs. I like this one a lot, with the snow on the ground and the crossing of wires in the upper right corner.

@lisa v: exactly, giants walking in a line across the fields!
Annie Viguié from Bordeaux, France
Smooth grey for nature and black graphic for electric line ! I love

@Paul: thanks very much paul
GJC from Kyoto, Japan
Ah, very nice. The way you use those lines inspires me. The sweep of space is terrific and without the lines I don't think the image would be as strong.

@GJC: all part of my plan to convert you : )

You chose a fine spot from which to get the the crossing of the power lines. This makes a fine composition.
Nice work.

Answer to your question about my photo 26/11. it's a plastic bucket to come ashore on the beach and someone who has hung it up into a tree.

The straight and long lines above and the random meandering lines in the snow - one with a plan the other with none. Terrific image...

Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
This is exactly the same as my fields, farmland with powerlines, today they were hidden by mist.
A splendid shot Grant.

@Observing: thanks mike. did you have the camera out in them today? i'd like to see.
sherri from Little Rock, Arkansas, United States
They're magnificent. You laid this composition out just right. I can imagine you out there walking, looking, backing up, going right, going left:-) Is that a skiff of snow? Gorgeous capture.

@sherri: thanks sherri. luckily, i was alone out there that day...

Twelvebit from Victoria, United States
Good rendering of a tough subject to make interesting.
1 Dec 2008 3:46pm
@Twelvebit: i appreciate that. i'm sort of obsessed by these large lines in open fields. the shots almost always stink though.
@giovanni: thanks giovanni
