Re: March of the Darlecs

Great to see such nice pictures of something I usually try and avoid in my landscapes.

This is the art; revealing something in a different light. Well done both of you!

The real heroes are the people who mapped out the routes and installed these so called Daleks, crossing forests, mountains, gorges, deserts, farmland and swamps.
In the UK a lot of these were installed in the late 40s with the implementation of the National Grid.

David...I think they spoil a natural landscape....but not so much a farmed landscape like this. I agree Derek ...I appreciate the need for the infrastructure and all that goes with it....we wouldn't have digital photography without it.

Indeed, Derek!

Barring doggie droppings ( etc., ) I believe there's a beautiful side to most anything. Thanks David.

Brian, I think it's a matter of focus. If the landscape is the subject, then power poles and pylons are obtrusive. If on the other hand the infrastructure is the subject, then we can show it to advantage and for what it is.

Derek - thanks for informing me of the correct spelling, as it was in the title I should have at least looked it up.
