Utility Pole

A very neat interface access to electric, gas and water systems for a hotel on Waymouth Street. I like the tidy arrangement of the cabinet doors.
This image captures a striking view of utility poles stretching across the landscape at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge, located near Denver, Colorado. The photograph showcases a row of wooden power poles receding into the distance, creating a strong leading line against a dramatic winter backdrop.
I don't know what it is about Utility covers, but whenever I see one I feel the need to explore it for a capture.
With this one I like how some of the fine snow had been trapped making for some cool shapes. Of course rust, at least in my opinion will always add some great colour and texture. Hard for me to resist a shot where rust is involved

I like when the basic functions of society can be worth looking at beyound their primary function.

Not much to say about this one. I noticed it on the way home from the park. It is in the middle of the street so a car had driven across it leaving some extra colour in the wet parts. This is of course a crop. I had not intended this composition when I shot it, but discovered it while processing and like how the lines radiate from the upper corner.
The bits of sand to me almost appear to be raised, but in fact the sand has collected in the shallow channels. The image may be a bit about colour and texture, but for me it is mostlly about the lines and curves.

Taken in early evening the same day as the Stonington Harbor photo.
Back to one upload per day. Now I did not say one image per day;) This is kind of a bonus image. Taken very recently and just a couple of days apart. I am not sure what it is with me and utility covers, but it must be that they are not moving, easy to get at in just looking down and almost always they are rusty, and I love rust, at least on things I do not own.
These are the larger ones that are on Town property, not the individual residential property type shutoffs.Anyway I have uploaded this composite quite large so that each image would still have decent detail when viewed full,and the detail (texture) is important to these images.
