Good shadow play here Grant. Nothing points more to our least imaginative buildings than to place a little nature next to them.

I like the relationship between the shadows of the branches and the wires.

Expected to see old tires and transmissions piled up from the title. Do like the tones on the roof and wall.

Nice composition. Love the blacks and whites...and - as always - the light you capture.

Such beautiful trees hidden there. The shadows against the lines of the structure are exceptional.

Shadows are back. with those trees it looks like a filling station in the woods. well done.

Same as Cat, it is the shadows and wires that fascinate me here. The confusion of squiggles that the shadows and wires create is very dynamic in the center of a still and otherwise quiet image. Wonderful composition…

J'aime ce mélange hétéroclyte d'arbres, d'ombres et de fils électriques

beautiful light in this one. Early morning or late at night?

Interesting how the dark vertical (tree-shadow) dissects the picture.

Nice shot. I can related a lot to this shot because part of my work is to go out to properties like this and inventory all the trees near utility lines and provide suggestion to cut it down or to save (cut cut cut!).

@Howard F.: really? sounds interesting.
lisa v from Gawler, Australia

Lots of electricals going on here! It's really nice, and I like how we get to see the back.

@martie: thanks martie. btw, i'm having trouble getting to your blog today.

I love the dance of the shadows here, and the way the square frame is used to best effect

A whole new world from the back Grant! A great image... as always!

Lot's of connections and wires there, it's a wonder that the trees don't interfere with the tanks.

@Observing: it's out of business - perhaps that was part of the problem?

I see something organic here --like from the ground up, nature is attempting to recapture what has been added by man.
