Powerlines are one of those objects that stand out in pictures yet you easily filter them out in person. I'm always struck by how oppressive they are in pics.

I always think of R. Crumb's A Short History of America.

i was in red hook yesterday - you?

from rs' comment i immediately associated to crumb's line about the power line towers he put in the background of his art - although he'd create whatever scenes he wanted, he'd copy actual background power structures and lines, saying "you can't make that up." without following VL's link i'm sure he means the same reference. also http://tinyurl.com/29juy75

Yeah, agree with the Crumb reference. Exactly what I was talking about.
