Elektron

[Magpie]

mmm, I like it. I like the jaggedness of the lettering, the amber warmth of sunrise and electricity, the intrusion of spikes into the beauty. For me all the parts of the piece fit together and on top of that it's both beautiful and makes me think.

Thanks for posting it, good one.

Thanks Ella, for some reason I must have a thing for electricity pylons because I seem to have took a hell of a lot of pictures of them. Something about the contrast with nature makes it more interesting. 
I found out the other day that the word 'electric' comes from the Latin 'electricus' meaning resembling amber which comes from the Greek 'elektron' meaning amber. Something to do with when they used to rub amber and it would become electrically charged. I wanted to try and use that in this picture and after looking up 'pylon' and realising it was Greek for 'gateway' then it wrote itself.
I should really give some credit to photoshop, but I won't... It was all me.

Thanks for commenting,
