Power Being Delivered to the Mountains and Beyond by Mark Stevens
Via Flickr:
Under some transmission power lines at a roadside pullout along US Route 95 in Nevada. My thought in composing this image was to keep the horizon more or less leveled-on and center myself as best I could between the two sets of transmission line towers. Having the horizon leveled-on would allow me to bring out more of a sweeping view, leading up to the mountains with its ridges and peaks off in the distance. The blue skies and clouds would be that color contrast to complement the earth-tones in the lower portion of the image.

i don't think the background art in mob psycho 100's anime adaptation gets nearly enough love. it's full of mundane objects depicted in the most exquisite watercolors.
like this electrical pole here. with its giant soup can-like transformer and attendant power lines against a cloudy twilight sky, all shot through with vibrant pink and lilac and creamy butter yellow.
not only does this painting–and it is a painting–bring new meaning to the phrase 'golden hour', it's still one of the most glorious things i've ever laid eyes on. and you might pass one of these utility poles every day without a second glance. since seeing this image? i haven't been able to.
this is a single frame of animation. there are hundreds of thousands more in this series, maybe just as beautiful. i wanted to call your attention to this one. just because.
it reminds me to pay attention.
to notice, and keep noticing, the beauty in ordinary things (and beings!).

A Dirt Road Leading Me to Distant Mountains by Mark Stevens
Via Flickr:
While at a roadside pullout along Donaldson Rd with a view looking south and down the dirt road to more distant snowcapped ridges and peaks of the San Bernardino Mountain. The blues of the skies and whites on the mountainside, I felt, helped to create a color contrast to compliment the more earth-tones in the lower portion of the image. After doing some post-production work with control points in DxO PhotoLab 6 and making some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted, I cropped a portion of the foreground to create a wide-angle and panoramic feel to the image.
