Brandy – Would you believe that this is a mild case of wire overload? It is amazing.
Thumbuddy – I am glad you think it is cool.
Carin – I was actually going for a picture of the church and then when I was going through my pictures I was appalled by how many wires there were… and by the fact that I didn’t even notice them there when I was taking the shot. But it is true, like you say, that the spire won out.
Jutta – The picture on your WWW post is intriguing.
Livvy Lu – That could very well be the reason everything is buried now in the States.
Maybe it should be Wiry Wednesday. Anyway, I had to laugh at your comment about not noticing the wires until you looked at the photos later. When I teach new photography students that is one thing they need to learn is to look at every part of the frame not just the subject because they may miss something that will be distracting in the photograph (like cars or wires). Sometimes a simple perspective (vantage point) shift is all that is needed for a correction on spot. But in your case, you might be enwebbed in wires too much to compensate.

There’s a lot of wires in this picture!
wow, cool shot.
I like how the church spire reaches up over the madness of wires.
Wordless? Now I am speechless.
P.S. Great idea. Is it copyrighted?
What is it about Latin America and electricity?? I think they liked to get a little shocked every now and again!
Maybe it was wiry messes like this why we now bury most of the cables here in the US!
Wow! Now that is a lot of wires for birds to choose from!

great shot! i love the contrast of the chaotic electrical wires and the elegance of the church steeple.
Emily – I think it would be fun to take a class from you.
Julie – There is quite a contrast.
um….wow. Ya think they got enough wires running? That looks like a catastrophe waiting to happen……and then there’s the church. Sitting so peacefully.
Rachel – May our souls be so steady amidst great turmoil.
That picture just makes me laugh! Yup, that’s how it is…
Becky – I know!
Ha!
