Great perspective in this shot, a line of poles leading the eye.

I worked for a power company for years and try to incorporate what gave me the ability to retire. Thanks for the kind words.

Very nice colour here. Ordinarily I would curse the power poles but you have largely blended them into the landscape and they do provide a sense of scale.

thanks EM, I wanted to include the transmission lines in a photo and when it snowed I knew I could make something out of it.

thanks Bruce, I normally don't like the power lines in the middle of a photo but like you said this added scale and a leading line to the mountain top looked good to me.

a well constructed & composed shot, the high contrast and darker tones make for a very dramatic feel, the line of poles folding back on itself, the mountains & clouds all interesting... what a view from your campsite
cheers
