Week of Randomness: Fenceline
For reasons that were inexplicable and non-negotiable I decided that a driving trip from Lubbock to Denver would not include a single mile driven on a Interstate highway.
It takes me practically forever to get anywhere anyway (because: photography). Add that to the driving conditions (not all the roads were paved, for example), and I think our travel speed was somewhere in the covered-wagon range.
But I saw this.

Man, talk about leading lines!

No kidding! It’s probably a cliched barbed-wire-fence shot, but I didn’t care when I made it, and I don’t care now!

Great detail and contrast in this photo.
Really strong.

Thanks. I spent a long time on top of that rise trying to get a shot that conveyed the wideness of the place.

The view was well worth the time I suspect.

The whole trip was a lot of fun – we saw many interesting things along the way. And, as an added bonus, didn’t get any speeding tickets.

I chuckled! That’s the way to travel – nice and slow. Travel fast and you can guarantee my wife will be hanging on for dear life to the door handle with one hand while shouting ‘look where you’re going’! My eyes will be elsewhere spotting images. I love the feel and composition of convergence in this image, plus (and it’s an important plus) that single upright pole to the right of the image. Such an important inclusion that provides balance and perhaps a ‘full stop’ as the Brits would say. And you were blessed with a lively sky too. Bliss!

Andy – Yes! I am so glad you noticed that pole. The shot wouldn’t have been right without it – that whole right side of the image would have just drifted away.
