So many times when I’ve stood on my deck and tried to take a photo of the water, I’ve cursed the hydro pole that mars the view.
This time I found the power lines an interesting contrast to the lines created by the tidal movement in the bay.
I still find the man-made power lines to be ugly, but here they emphasize the beauty of the soft curvy lines of nature.
Man or nature? For me, it’s no contest.

I suppose the power lines are a necessary evil. Cool shot, Anneli!

There’s something to be said for underground wiring.

Thanks, Darlene. I was going to throw out the whole lot of them that I took, because of those damned power lines, but then I got looking at it from another perspective – lines and lines.

Ok, this is beautiful. But let’s not lose the plot – hydro poles are nasty.

This would make for a great design for a quilt and/or literal quilting pattern.

Great idea. I kind of thought of a kid’s colouring book and making the sections between the lines all different colours. I’ll have to keep this suggestion in mind. Thanks, Laura.

May I use it as a reference for a possible quilt design?

A really great photo. Well, to me it’s maybe more like a painted picture. I like it a lot.

It almost does look painted. Just the way the light was – a bit hazy.

I can see what you mean by lines and lines. Great shot! But I´d rather see the water without those lines. Here they are digging up the whole village right now to put the wires underground. They are making a big mess all over but once all is cleaned up it will look so much better.

Lucky you! At least when it’s done you won’t have to look at those ugly lines like I do.

The way the photo looks, the power lines sort of look like they are black lines in the water along with the gorgeous multi-shaded blue lines of nature. Great shot.
P.S. I know what you mean about obstructions in a shot. There are many man-made obstructions here, too. It’s what I get for living near a city.

Yes, and it’s too far and too much bother to go to a place where the scene is purer.

I agree. The tide lines and the hydro lines are like two opposites working together.
