Powerlines stretch across a hilly Southern California landscape at dusk.


Towers linking powerlines that stretch across a hilly Southern California landscape at dusk. The juxtiposition of the manmade powerlines against the lush green rolling hills poses the conflict of man vs. nature. The modern age of mankind seems to intrude on the beauty, peace and solitude of Mother Earth. The powerlines disappear behind a hill leaving only to the viewer's imagination how far they may stretch. The valley below is hazy with pollution, furthering the struggle of nature to survive the damaging effects man has caused it to endure. Also search Jeff Smith and Fotosmith for similar images.
