Best viewed against black
Part of the challenge of a 52 week project is that the photo has to be taken during the week of that particular theme. Well, what if you want to get outside to shoot, but it rains for pretty much the whole of the week? If you get to the final day of the week, you have no choice but to head out anyway.
So off I headed in search of a pylon, with the sky covered yet again in a dull monochrome. Hardly the most inspiring back drop. But, as I headed up a nearby hill, I drove into the cloud base. And all of a sudden, the tops of the pylons started disappearing, as did the more distant pylons.
And that self-same monochrome cloud became the perfect moody setting, a minimalist dream drapery, hanging just like the wires from the jutting towers, almost hiding them from view. Turned out to be a lovely setting for some silhouettes...
