There was something in the air. There was magic in the sky.
But that was not what gripped me. The play of the silhouettes of the wires against the sky was what struck me the most. The sky was just a background today. A prop. The show stealer was the story that the wires had to tell. The way they were interwoven. How they delicately balanced each other. Their majestic and imposing presence.
The small buildings below looked on in awe at them.
Everything was still, like it was supposed to be.

Oh lookie I'm actually here before you got 20+ comments! ;-) *score*
You know I'd never have thought of those wires telling a story - I just look at them and think how they are marring the view by criss-crossing all over the horizon.
Patterns, possibilities. Which way will I go at dawn?
there are two sharp contrasts here, the matrix of wires, and warm, the ost colorful dawn! are we trapped in this mesh to reach out to these colors?
very beautiful picture!
My, I am in awe too. A beautiful mix of orange and red the sky is. :)
you are right, the colour of the sky is magnificent! glorious! most people, including me would have ignored the wires if not found them obtrusive but its wonderful how you see the beauty in the insignificant, the ordinary.
Dawn is, perhaps, the most fragile part of the day. You have such a gift with fragility and stillness.
I must echo Geetanjali - am glad I got here so quickly. At least that way, I am robbed of speech by you alone. :)
wow...wires telling a story while the immensely beautiful sky acts as a mere backgrd...wonderful thot...really wonnnnnderful pic!!!...I love to c dawn...the sky like that but never thot abt the wires all that much...beautiful
Oh, totally feel cool, though not half as cool as geetanjali, cos not only did she get here before 20 comments, she got here first!!! HAW!
Those wires, they're sorta like the perpendicular lines i was talking about no?they meet once, then they go and meet someone else. They're probably like gossipy old hags, telling at one corner what was heard at the other...
Oh wow, I'm 9th!!! I've never been this close on your comments A!!!
You're an inspiration, A. You have such an artistic eye, and always wonderful words to match it. Perfect!
The red sky reminded me of The Lord of the Rings, where Legolas says "A red sun rises, blood has been spilt this night".
Sometimes we see too much of the obvious that we fail to see the beauty of ordinary things.
hmm... i love the sky. :o)

Loved the photo. The sky of course is beautiful but I thought the wires were beautiful too. The way they criss crossed across the sky weaving a story across the horizon, towering over the buildings below....very nice.
And thanks for visiting my blog.
u r obsessed with natural, orange filter.....hmmmmm good one! meanwhile i am enjoying cheesy popcorns......
BEAUTIFUL.
Spectacular capture! Well done!
Hey, ever see the view of the rail tracks in Germany? They criss cross to form one of the world's most complicated networks!repeating what the 24 comments hv already said - its beautiful :)
Yeah! Show us the money (a la Jerry McGuire) :))
I'd hate to tangl with the spider who spun that! She'd be from the mists of legend.
simple by design, intricate in purpose.
so much of our lives depicted in such a beautiful way.
.:A:.
you are simply great...
the composition is damn good...
once i thought you hv manipulated the pic... but looking closely... no way! this is original stuff!
carry on buddy :D
you’re photographs are lovely. All of your pictures seem to have the reddish orange thru yellow with black colour combination. Which is my favourite!
You really have a thing for orange light glowing in the dark, dont you? It's brilliant. I can't believe it's not been "corrected".
that was a gem of a snap. amazing...and even spiritual, in a sense.
looks like the web of life - high voltages running around, charges clashing and menadering.....in short power packed!
i am actually getting tired of posting about how good you are!
as usual, beautiful pic but this time the wires held my attention.....interesting to see how observant you are.
Gorgeous picture with a clever story

The wires are a cage, separating us from the beauty beyond.
You really notice "little" things... I really do like this theme you're developing - like you're a nature poet of the city-scape...
the criss-cross of wires are the lines of fate on the palm of the sky
Sublime :)
