Electric

this weeks Thematic Photographic 122 - Electric  by Carmi
a lone street light
pretty street lights
and one of the things i dislike....friking power lines!!
I enjoy power like the next person but more than one otherwise beautiful shot gets ruined by those lines running through them .
Can't live with it , can't live without it !
life before electricity,
this is from one of my favourite places to visit, Kings Landing in NB

  2. The last picture leaves me wondering how the dried spices hanging there were reached when the fire was lit.
    Leave it to me to ask the how and why. ;0)
    It also leaves me THANKFUL for my stove and still there is not enough time in the day to do what needs to be done.:0(

  3. Great progression of images!! I agree with you about the power lines- I'm always viewing photos where I didn't REALIZE that damn line was there.

  4. I love images like this. When I lived in Toronto I took loads of pictures of streetlights and traffic lights; something very still about them. Thanks for commenting on the blog and the book by the way!

  6. I enjoy power lines in photographs because its a constant reminder to the raping of the planet that we are currently allowing.

  7. You've taken what some view as a frustration - wires, lights, etc. - and turned it into art on its own terms. Neat! I often find myself standing on the sidewalk, cursing the unseen planners who decided to plunk their fixtures Right There.

    You, on the other hand, found the positive. Not only did you nail the theme in a unique way, you inspired me to find the good in everything. Coolness.

  9. I have been trying to comment on your other blog but it won't let me!
    Just wanted to say that I loved the red of the child's hat and the coulour of the dog against the snow!
    These pictures are magnificent too!
