Rush Hour on State Highway 83

I first abandoned this image because of the blown out white of snow and clouds and I did not like the power lines. On reflection I quite like the way the mountains fade into the sky, and without the power lines the cows would be in trouble at milking time. :) The shiny objects on the power poles are metal shields to prevent the Possums from climbing them. Taken near the town of Duntroon in the Waitaki Valley, New Zealand with Canon 450D.
Thank you for taking the time to look and for any comments.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

The danger in driving on this highway is that you will be so distracted by the beauty of the surroundings and may cause an accident. Lovely shot Lyn - a very beautiful view.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

I like it the way it is too, LE. I think sometimes we get too hung up on power lines and such. Until they bury them, they are part of the landscape.
Good post.

It's a beautiful view! I don't care much for the power lines either, but I am quite fond of heat in the winter and cool air in the summer so I guess it is something we have to tolerate lol:)

It's a beautiful scene as is. It might seem strange if there were no power lines.
