Description
Thanks for your energizing comments on Road To The Wired World. Today we have something similar, yet different.
I was struck by the number of lines connected to this one power pole. The more lines there are, the greater the illusion (at least for myself) of another dimension. I first noticed this effect years ago while laying on my back on a bench outside an art gallery. The cloudless blue sky provided a sharp contrast to the right angles of the building's architecture. All of a sudden, the world seemed to turn upside down and I was the one in the air while the sky I was viewing seemed to be a vast blue floor.
Since then, I keep an eye out for places where this reversal of perspective is most easily seen. I found this pole with it's wires trailing away at right angles to be one such case. For lack of a better term, I personally dubbed this the MC. Escher effect. ;)
I wanted to keep this a primarily black & white image, but though keeping the tree leaves green gave it a little extra something. :) As always, feedback and commets are welcome and appreciated!

"...I myself passed many years in this state of self-delusion. But then there came a moment when it seemed as though scales fell from my eyes. I discovered that technical mastery was no longer my sole aim, for I became gripped by another desire, the existence of which I had never suspected, Ideas came into my mind quite unrelated to graphic art, notions which so fascinated me that I longed to communicate them to other people. This could not be achieved through words, for these thoughts were not literary ones, but mental images of a kind that can only be made comprehensible to others by presenting them as visual images..."
