    You should put together a sunset/sunrise book of your photos!

    Perfect combination of sky and towers - it makes a great statement about power.

    I love this . . . the softness of the colors in contrast to the hard lines of the transformers. Beautiful.

    that is one powerful sunset. do'h! it's a beauty. there's something ominous about power lines. maybe it's because I live so near a power plant and the landscape is scattered with more than I want to see. you've managed to make them look graceful and lovely.

    You have shown us that even something as intrusive and potentially ugly as power lines can look good in the right light. Its a beautiful shot.

    I loved your title for this gorgeous sunset. Sometimes the power lines add to the drama and beauty and I think this is such a case. Almost like sculpture.

    This is gorgeous! What a spectacular sky. :D

    PS: I'm back in Toronto for good. But internet is spotty for the time being, as I am using it in cafes or at my kitchen window (when the neighbor's are not on). Hope we can still plan a meet-up. The weather is certainly better for it now. :)
