industrial design

The views along the Cape Cod Canal are pretty much tailor-made to photograph -- lots of sparkling water, ships, seabirds, and sky.  But some of the elements that aren't traditionally beautiful -- the electric power plant, the heavy concrete supports of the bridges -- have their own particular beauty that I love.

  1. There is something about those wires and electrical towers that I find so beautiful too. Despite the fact that I feel like they look so un natural sitting there amidst nature...I still find them artfully beautiful...especially silouetted against the blue sky. I love the shadows too.

  2. I love the elegance and beauty you've captured among this industrial setting. The sky makes them extra beautiful. BTW, I just found your blog and love your work. I follow Mortal Muses but don't think I've ever come over here. I'm now following and look forward to seeing more.

  4. It's nice to take the road less traveled sometimes. I believe it usually ends up being more gratifying.
