pretty metres all in a row

jeff walker @jsw0109 came up with a challenge whereby you photograph "something most people would not consider to be beautiful and find a way to capture it that IS beautiful." the challenge is called "eye of the beholder challenge".

just the challenge for this. i have taken a photo of these electric metres outside a townhouse near the subway station before but never posted it here. i just like the way they are lined up, like sentries in a monument. this morning we have a snow storm and i thought these would really look nice with snow on them. so i braved the elements and took some quick snaps. i like this angle, it complements yesterday's shot of the subway station.

played around in picnic to brighten the brick's colour.

if you are so inclined, check the challenge's rules here: http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/16076/eye-of-the-beholder-challenge
Looks like a row of soldiers to me! Nice capture and good color!
