Power

An 18 hour travel day yesterday precluded any Pic of the Day posting, so, no, you didn’t miss one.

Taking a break from the Jack London State Park series, this is a shot from the same day, taken at the one safe place to pull off Highway 37 between Vallejo and 101: the wildlife viewing area under the bridge at Sonoma Creek.

I do not generally find power lines scenic, but there was something compelling about the line of towers leading back to the limited sun on the hills behind Vallejo. The geometry of it if nothing else. I took several shots, using the zoom for different framing. This one, taken at about 300mm equivalent, emphasizes the geometry. I like the way the second tower comes through the first, and then the rest curve off into the diminishing distance.

Some Recovery in Lightroom for the sky, Vibrance and Clarity, and the Landscape sharpen preset.
