Power lines: bain or blessing?

A beautiful sunset photo marred by power lines — Power lines at sunset.

I love having power to my home. But I often wish they could find a way to get it there that doesn’t block beautiful views. I have spent a lot of time and energy trying to erase them from pictures.

They can be a pain, but I’m starting to learn to embrace them as part of the “scenery”.

  I try, but they do detract from a nice sunset.

Well I think that many of the lines will be gone over the next 50 years so the photos with them will have a very special feel later on
–
And as noted above – on our neighborhood the lines were buried but the grid we are connected to and the other areas still
Have above ground and so we tend to have power outages if they have issues – for example – a small truck took out a pole on a narrow road and we were all without power for the night.
So a perk of in ground is less power outs…
Lastly
I can see why you take the lines out of some images but can also attest to how cool some of the power lines look – like in this colorful sky-
The lines have a soft overlap and that changes the feel
