Wonderful concept! This image flows so well in thought and elements...I find the 'peace' sign above the shadow to be significant to the idea and feeling I get from this photograph...and also how the powerline appears to be a 'cross' in the middle third of this frame. Something to think about...

@bluechameleon: thanks, bluechameleon. i'm glad you noticed the appearance of the 'cross,' it was the central to the shot. i had stopped a power pole above to take a shot, when i noticed the 'peace sign' on the pole below. i'm glad i moved down.
I like the shadow of the man on the right which highlights the mysterious side of this shot.

@bruno: thanks, bruno! i was out for a walk, quite early in the morning. the village, deep in a valley surrounded by by hills, was lit briefly on the opposite hill. quite suddenly, the whole valley and parts of the village filled with light. i'd love to go back there, to experience that again!
A wonderful feeling when I see the shadows on the buildings and especially your shadow on the tree .

@payam: hi, payam, thank you! as i mentioned in my previous comment to bruno, the valley and the village were lit suddenly as light spilled over the hills. my main focus was the cross-like configuration of wires, but once i spotted the peace sign on the pole ahead, i knew i had an image.
