Power

Weekly Photo Theme – Power Lines

This week I borrowed one of the daily photo themes over on Google+ for our weekly theme. It is a theme I have contributed to in the past and it is a little different as far as subjects go. It is power lines, which can include telephone poles, but typically a subject we landscape photographers try to exclude from our images. Contributing to the theme on G+ has forced me to see those general intrusions as something different. There can be a beauty to these landscape eye sores when looked at as the subject of a composition. You should search Google+ for #PowerLineFriday to see what I am talking about.

Winter Arrives

This will be the third image I have taken of this knoll leading to the beach at Delta Lake State Park. Something about the setting sun behind the trees and the picnic tables at the top of the rise that always brings the camera to my eye. It is interesting to see the seasons change through the different images. You can view the other versions at Summer Fades and Summer Awaits.
