Carolyn M. Fletcher level-classic May 29, 2004

Very beautiful, Jan! Don't you just hate power lines some days? #565547

Allan L. Whitehead May 29, 2004

Wonderful capture and presentation, Jan, I love this. The effects are magnificent. Have a terrific holiday week-end, my very dear friend - your good friend, Allan #565551

Gianna Stadelmyer May 29, 2004

Thanks, Karen and Carolyn! Yes, I do hate power lines some days....and they are horrendous here. You think of Switzerland as scenic mountain views and farmland, but everywhere you look are above ground power lines and HUNDREDS upon HUNDREDS of tram-line wires cutting through the cities and countryside alike. Very frustrating from a photographic standpoint! Thank goodness for PSP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) #565553
