BNSF 7018 pushes east with a 2M Composite train (mostly MSC and Hyundai) under a mess of power lines, the trains next obstacle will be the Cajon pass through the San Bernardino Mountains which, can be seen in the distance along with a Union Pacific westbound manifest train waiting for a spot in West Colton to open up as it sits on the flyover.
I hope this is a thought provoking shot. a) These are cultivated poppies growing wild at the edge of a farmer's field. b) The view is in the countryside but clearly the town in the background is not far away. and it is encroaching fast (We have to build 850 homes per year! !http://www.basingstokegazette.co.uk/news/politics/11676516.Planning_inspector_wants_850_new_homes_built_in_Basingstoke_and_Deane_every_year/) Clearly the poppies are on the wire literally but it is as though they cannot make up their minds whether they belong in the town or the country, just as the idiom, 'on the wire' or 'on the fence' suggests. The ominous thing is they won't have long to make up their minds because the town will soon encroach. I know there are many other meanings about on the wire. It would be interesting to hear them, especially from around the world.
Oh and another thought provoking idea - look at which camera I used!
