Wow! Mundane situation has turned out spectacular! This is a wonderful image, Mary...a veritable goldmine.
Mary MacADNski: I was trying to get the powerlines but the whole thing was more interesting.
Lovely warm photo. I love the light you have captures on the wires.
Mary MacADNski: A mistake that worked, Gale.
This one works for me too.
Mary MacADNski: Glad it works for you and that you've stopped by to comment.

Excellent picture in all aspects. And I am one of those wacko's who like lens flare - that is a plus then.

This is the kind of shot at the end of the movie where the next second 'The End' will appear, while the hillbilly and his moll drives off into their sordid future, after besting the corrupt sheriff in some hick town smile

Going to my likeys.
Mary MacADNski: I'm so happy to have a likey. That is not a common occurance. I think you're absolutely right about "the end."

A bit surrealistic but has a special feel to it. I almost feel like beeing there...
Mary MacADNski: A fabulous sunset followed this as you can imagine.
Fantastic colours Mary and another good choice of music.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Bill. Great song isn't it!

Mary MacADNski: I aim to please, Mal. Glad you like it.
Lovely colours. I like the reflections on the road and the wires.

Nice colored and warm shot !
Mary MacADNski: Thank you, Roland. The end to a nice day.
Oh yes: that really is from dreary to bright. Good sunset shot!
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Christopher. It was a cool moment.
Lovely lines in this one. I especially like the light caught in the power/telephone lines.
Mary MacADNski: That's my favorite part too. I intended to shoot only the power lines but there was traffic and I thought it best to get out of the middle of the road.

Wow Mary, this is just a very nice picture, it would do great on a poster 10x15 feet (3x5 meter)those wires realy look high voltage!
Mary MacADNski: Pretty cool isn't it. I was just going for the power lines but the whole scene worked.

This is wonderful. It has taught me a lot about what I can do in the future. It seems like a sepia photo almost. An historic photo almost. It is a concept. And I love it.
Mary MacADNski: I love this too. I was trying to take a photo of the light on the power lines and this came out. It's unusual. The next on, I got the power lines and it is not nearly as nice. Glad you like it. I love your name, by the way, I have friends who named their daughter the same.
