I was down near where the old power plant once was, and before they demolished those buildings, they had to install new high voltage power poles and power lines to bring power from across the harbor to the substation where it is distributed to Sea Cliff and Glenwood Landing and other nearby communities. The new power poles are really tall structures - they have to be to keep the power lines well above the water of the harbor so there is no risk of sailboats or other watercraft coming in contact with these lines. The distance between this pole on our side, and the pole the lines go to on the other side is 1,300 feet! So the lines really bow down as they cross the water. but I digress... I was attracted to this view with the power pole and all the lines criss-crossing the frame. If you think that the tones of the photograph are different looking, that's because this is a black and white infrared image.

Great abstract art with the clouds behind. 1300 feet is crazy. I would like to see long shot of the harbor area with these tall poles.

Interesting abstract photo. The infrared really gives it a unique look.
