Hey Cliff, I made a lot of money off of power lines. This was the only shot I could take from our location, but I know what you mean

Gorgeous sky. How I wish those fires were under control and out. I hate to think of all that charred landscape.

This is beautiful, Bob! Quite sad about those fires, though.

I generally hate power lines in photos, but I think they add something here. Very nicely done!

In the High Fire, 84,000 acres burned and 248 houses lost and it is 45% contained.
