Marching Pylons by taffy

Marching Pylons

Taken from the car (I was a passenger) on the road from France to Spain. I like the generic feel to the shot -- it could be almost anywhere in the world. I had planned to contrast it with a shot I took of a modern windmill in the same frame as two smokestacks from a nuclear energy plant, but it didn't turn out that well.
Thank you for your comments and favs on the sunset photos of Beaver Island. I so appreciate it!
Don't forget the ETSOOI-35 competition this week! The theme is transportation. Have fun!
it could be anywhere - I see similar scenes on my travels - I would love to be in Spain though

You're right-this could be and IS down the street or across the globe.

Neat shot. You are so right, we truly live in a global society

Wonderful patterns and lines.

Great shot, Taffy! It could be anywhere as you mentioned. I like the choice in processing as well!
June 2nd, 2014  
The processing really suits the shot

Great shot, when it drive to Canvey island to visit some of my students there they are as I come round the bend. This could be them. Small world we live in. Fav

Perfect in B&W and yes they could be anywhere in the world.

cool shot, i like the zig-zagin lines.

So true about the generic feel - it easily could be Kansas to me. I like the dark outlines against the grey sky.

Great low key effect-I always find it difficult to capture pylons
June 2nd, 2014  
Fantastic processing.
June 2nd, 2014  
Great image - you make them seem threatening!!

Love this. Fav

True, could have been anywhere...I love the slightly dark processing...and the clouds stands out beautifully.

love how everyone is claiming them! I first saw a group of very formal dancers performing a routine.

cool march of the pylons.

Great B&W Taffy - well composed

Love the use of b&w using that sky as backdrop to give the crossing line patteren a heightened drama. Funny how you mentioned this could be "anywhere in the world". I was just eye balling a similar set of pylons near my home the other day. Thinking how I'd like to take a photo one day when the lighting and sky were just right.

Wonderfully dark and moody, great shot

They really do look like they are marching to take over the power. Great use of (power)lines
June 2nd, 2014  
So many lines! Very futuristic looking shot!
June 2nd, 2014  
Very take over the world - godzilla stuff. Ominous feel.
June 3rd, 2014  
Yup- it could pass for Indiana or mid-western New York. Good shot!
June 3rd, 2014  
Great shot. I like this in b/w
June 3rd, 2014  
Wow, what a cool shot, Taffy. You captured so much detail. Love this in B&W. FAV
