Giant Lady by grammyn

Giant Lady

We grew up near power lines and to me they were just a part of the landscape but my baby sister made them into a much more idealized object. She calls them "ladies"

As we were driving around yesterday I saw a long line of them going into the distance and thought they would make a great leading line photo so asked my husband to stop the truck. Truthfully? I yelled stop at him which he obediently did. I had my eye on the line to the right but when I got out of the truck and started to go around behind it to compose my shot I looked up. This is what I saw right there beside the country road we were on.
This is just terrific, lots of lovely leading lines but great tones too. I'm sure our husbands think we are quite mad sometimes!

Oh! Your sister’s name for these (ladies) is perfect and I love your pov on this one. You and I were on the same wave length today! 😊 I will always remember your sister’s name for the big power lines when I see them.

Good leading lines on this lady. I had never thought of them thatvway, but I have to agree with her.

It is a fabulous shot. I also yell 'stop' at my husband when we are driving and I see a photo opportunity pop up.
