Killer Legs

Killer Legs
So this week's Sunday Challenge had the theme of legs: table, chair or otherwise.

Now, as nobody would really want to see my old legs and my wife wasn't up for letting me take a photo of hers that left me with somewhat of a dilemma.

I must admit I struggled to come up with an alternative trying things like shopping trolleys, but to no avail.

In the end I settled for shooting an electrical pylon located between Northallerton and Osmotherley, which was fairly easy to access from the roadside.

Some might say I should have shown more of the legs, but that would have brought the surrounding countryside into the frame and made the sign that my title refers to more difficult to read.

So, I settled for this particular shot from the many I took. Admittedly, it has been processed somewhat, but that was to create a darker and more sombre atmosphere than a sunny Sunday afternoon could offer.

Give it large for best effect! ;)

Cool photo Paul! Looks like you've had problems with people climbing them! We had a couple of idiots climbing them and stealing the the braces for scrap a few years back, but one of the towers collapsed and fixed the problem for good. Darwin award nominees for sure! :-)

Thanks Norm for that great comment and the fave ... you're absolutely right about the Darwin award nominees too ... maybe I should get one for being daft enough to get so up close and personal with it? ;)

If you're on the ground ... no problem, but if you're this guy ... I'll be wondering about you! :-)

This is probably the most dramatic photo in the challenge. That barbed wire and warning sign set the mood beautifully and you caplitalized on it; brilliant work!!

great, really well done image, the processing matches the subject.

I tried a few pylon shots, but didn't get anywhere close to as good as this . . .
