Description

The West Valley is part of Phoenix's 'Valley of the Sun'. Located about 50 miles west of the Valley of the Sun is the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, the largest in the United States.

The combined energy generated there is sent via massive transmission lines, similar to the one in this photo, to other states. Below the power lines is a cotton field, ready to be harvested.

Super shot! I wonder if all that high tension electricity helps or harms the growing of cotton?

I'm always drawn to the repetition with power lines, and their inexorable march across the landscape. The cotton field adds a friendly touch to the scene, too. Nicely seen, and well done!
