For the Lines Challenge Just a pylon! Had to lie flat on the ground to get this angle :) Available without the border. My dear RB friends, I appreciate your comments greatly! I prefer to reciprocate them rather than thank you individually so please do not be offended by my lack of replies here. I shall be commenting on your work instead. Thank you all… Astrid x
Bright New Energy by Colin S Pearson

This is a digitally tweaked image of one of the giant pylons stretching across the Bristol Channel between England and Wales. I took the original photo at sunset from the footpath about half-way along the Severn Road Bridge. I see this as a hint that we mustn’t take our always-available electricity for granted! / . / I’m delighted that this picture has been featured in the Pylon Photos and Art Group! / . / / .

I spy with my little eye …... just thought i would share this … its an example of how i now see things through a photographers eye … before i took up photography as a hobby/interest i would not have seen this view in this way … funny isn’t it how our view of things change with a photographic eye !!!
