Description
Sitting at Grand Coulee Dam, looking up at the power wires.
This is from Day 1 of our five week trip to the Midwest and back. I'll do my best to share as we go along. Right now I'm absolutely shot! Day 2 was very long, and I'm about to fall into bed.
'Nite!

Awesome and electrifying photo and postwork, Tara! And just look at all those (big, heavy) insulators! Woot!! Safe journey, my friends! Hope to see you two!

I love looking at these things! They're so...large, and occasionally, you can hear them sizzling and popping in ways that are pretty frikkin' scary, especially since you can only hear them sizzling and popping when you're standing somewhere you probably shouldn't be. I love the colors and the cloud pattern as well as the big, tall, sizzly-poppy thing with all of that electricity coursing through those wires! What a shot! I have to say that I love this and the Midwest is probably the best place to see these, since you're not as likely to get those mountains in the background, showing off...because, as we all know, mountains love to show off!

Such a striking compo! I get a nasty headache when I'm walking under HT cables, something to do with force fields.

Wonderful design elements and outstanding capture of them. So you and Bill are on the road again? What a fantastic anniversary gift to yourselves. I expect Bill has gotten pretty good driving the WinnieBagel (that's how my grandnephew pronunces it). Happy paper to you both.

You've made a lovely work of art out of this usually unsightly bit of tech, just as I have come to expect from you; well done! And enjoy your trip, I'll be in England when you get back here, I think...

Yes, power to the people indeed! This is fantastic! I saw this in thumbnail and thought "Oh, I like this." Then I opened it and it was like WOW!!!! I love everything about this picture. The POV, the detailing of the tower and power lines, the big sky dappled with clouds. There's a kind of "dreamy" feel to this. Like I'm dreaming a childhood memory of riding my bike and parking under one of these things and listening to that vaguely sinister hum buzz crackle buzz hum thing they do. I LOVE this picture!

Love it. Putting it at an angle adds to the image Tara!

I know all about long days and being tired. We just got home from a ten day vacation and I'm exhausted. We drove 600 miles yesterday and 480 today. And I can tell you, I'm never doing that again! I look forward to seeing more pics of your trip. Are you doing a blog this time?
