Very untypical photo from me. I usually prefer landscapes and beauty created by nature, just sometimes an image of a cozy village or town, nice building or outstanding piece of architecture... But I live in a city and spend most of my time there. So I can't really avoid urban and industrial views, and sometimes there might be amazing visual discoveries. Mostly it's the graphical elegance of the lines. It might not talk straight to our soul like nature, but it may appeal to our visual sense. And if we can enjoy the beauty of the spider's net in evening sun, why we could not sometimes appreciate similar net of electricity wires glimmering in sunset?
But for those who still want to stick to the old, good, and trusted nature images, I am today posting another photo. It is a very classical composition of waterlilies, not purely Monet, just a weak reproduction... :-) It just is interesting to observe your choices between those two photos.
And a bonus task for those who were not afraid of this shot, - find three crows there! It must be quite easy... :-)
The sun low on the horizon, positioned under this High Voltage tower, made this scene look like a rocket preparing to launch.

Roadside raptor from earlier this morning. They love hanging out on poles (power lines are pretty much all above ground here), which is good, as these tend to follow roadways, and so make beauties like this easier to photograph.

Wild deer in the Scottish Highlands showing us his secret for making his antlers extra-super-fuzzy - by chewing on electric power pylons.
Detail der 110kV-Freiluftschaltanlage auf dem Gelände Teil der Kranbrücke des Kraftwerks der ab 1936 errichteten Heeresversuchsanstalt Peenemünde (heute Teil des Historisch-Technischen Museums Peenemünde). Rechts im Hintergrund ein Schrägaufzug zur Kohleförderung. In der Heeresversuchsanstalt wurde vor allem die erste funktionsfähigen Grossrakete Aggregat 4 (A4, bekannt geworden als «Vergeltungswaffe» V2) entwickelt und getestet.
Die 1953 in Betrieb genommene Schaltanlage diente dem Anschluss des nach dem Krieg weiterbetriebenen Kraftwerks an das Hochspannungsnetz der DDR anzubinden. Im Betrieb der Heeresversuchsanstalt wurde ein erheblicher Teil der Kraftwerksleistung für die Produktion von verflüssigtem Sauerstoff in einer eigens hierfür errichten grosstechnischen Anlage gebraucht (Die A4/V2-Rakete wurde durch ein Gemisch aus Sauerstoff und verdünntem Alkohol angetrieben).

Detail of the 110kV outdoor substation on the terrain the coal-fired power plant of the Peenemünde Army Research Center (now part of the Peenemünde Historical-Technical Museum), which was built from 1936. In the background on the right, an inclined elevator for coal transport. The first functioning large rocket, Aggregat 4 (A4, which became known as the "retaliatory weapon" (Vergeltungswaffe) V2), was developed and tested at the Army Research Center.
The switchgear, commissioned in 1953, served to connect the power plant, which continued to operate after the war, to the GDR's high-voltage grid. In the operation of the Army Research Center, a considerable part of the power plant output was used for the production of liquefied oxygen in a large-scale plant built especially for this purpose (the A4/V2 rocket was propelled by a mixture of oxygen and diluted alcohol).
