Although I would never take for granted the digital camera that captured this shot from a speeding train—or want to give up the camera or the train—it would be fun to travel back in time just to see what this beautiful Virginia countryside looked like without the power lines (and some of our other not-so-attractive mod cons).

Fantastic picture. I often wonder what my home town would have looked like before all the modern buildings and stuff.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I love my digital!
ReplyDeleteFor that reason I like the paintings of Albert Bierstadt. Your caption also reminds me of the R Crumb take on our U.S. History (also at the above link), albeit in reverse (from then to now, rather than from now to then).
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought that the electric pylon was rather short, then decided the bulk of its base is beyond the rise in front of it. I like the way the window reflections add a few sharp edges to the clouds.
I don’t know. Maybe it is short.
DeleteBeautiful post.
ReplyDeleteWhere I grew up in the midwest, there were miles of these that came from the southern part of the state (where coal was mined). As a kid, I thought of them as giant robots marching across the countryside.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo in B&W!
ReplyDeleteThose power line wires do lead our eyes into this rural scene. I like the composition of this shot.
