Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom

Brilliant shot with the snow and tracks, the contrast is perfect.

Paul van der Meer from Valkenswaard, Netherlands

Wonderful grant! Strong , the snowlines makes a beautiful depth in this picture!

paolo from Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, Italy

the wires in the sky makes the right background just like a net in a technical drawing

cat from tel aviv, Israel

Shadows and lines are beautiful.
This looks rather surreal to me though...what is it for? Why is it there?

@cat: thanks cat. to be honest, i don't know what this is. i'm guessing it has something to do with monitoring or controlling trains.

GJC from Kyoto, Japan

Interesting angle, and I like the parallels in the power lines and tire tracks.

martie from US, United States

Great composition and lighting. But I have to ask - what is an energy response point and since this is number 5 how many are there?

14 Dec 2008 1:28pm

@martie: thanks martie. as to your questions - i have no idea!

Polydactyle from Montréal, Canada

Excellent shot! Lines, lines, lines, you kill me again!

yiannis krikis from thessaloniki, Greece

two line syntems in this image - the parallel at the air and the complicated at the grownd - nice image my friend

@yiannis krikis: thanks yiannis, i appreciate your comments

Mindy from United States

They just keep getting better. This is perfect in every way...the tire tracks that lead you into the super heavy typeface/3D sign which then gets you thinking about all the luscious geometry here. Love this!

@Mindy: thanks mindy!

Stinkbug Photography from Cochise County, United States

Those tire tracks are so appealing to me for some reason, not to say I don't like the whole image.

lisa v from Gawler, Australia

A very strong image, I'm intrigued by the fact that the tracks go right up to the edge of the building as if they screeched up to it in an emergency.

14 Dec 2008 9:50pm

@lisa v: thanks lisa. it does seem as though they get impossibly close.

JJ from Jersey City, United States

Another superbly composed shot as is your norm, the tire tracks dragging us into the shot,

@JJ: thanks jj

Bill from Belton, United States

This image ranks right up there with "the best" of your work Grant! It is a striking photo.

15 Dec 2008 12:57am

@Bill: thanks bill!

Chris from Jefferson City, United States

Another interesting and very well composed shot. All of the lines here, between the power lines, antenna, guard rail, and tire tracks create a weird sort of symmetry.

michele from Canada

the positioning of the tracks is fantastic. i also like the tower in behind and how those lines work with the tree branches. and that's some great light bouncing off the snow.

Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United States

You know what, this shot does have a 3D feel to it. I am not saying your previous shot are flat, but the thick snow, tracks, empty tree, and the faint electrical tower in the background, all adds up to a very 3D sensation to it. Excellent shot Grant

15 Dec 2008 5:34am

@Howard F.: thanks howard

sherri from Little Rock, Arkansas, United States

I see it's right under the power lines. The huge tower is barely visible at the far right of your capture. All the lines are incredible...as is the snow for so early in the year. I just can't get over that.

Twelvebit from Victoria, United States

You're making me re-examine my own compositional inclinations. I usually try to figure out how to exclude roads and parking lots when I photograph buildings, but you manage to incorporate them very effectively. Here, the sky, with the wires overhead, and the parking lot, with the tracks, are like perspective grids bracketing the center of interest.

15 Dec 2008 7:53pm

@Twelvebit: i appreciate the comment. on many of these buildings, the road almost seems like part of it to me.

daina from New York, United States

Love the bright winter sun in this shot. And the 3D is so incongruous in this setting. A complex image (as most of yours are) with many details to savor.
