The Iron Army !!!

MINUS A FEW DEGREES!!?? Ugh!! If THAT'S what it takes to get such gorgeous pictures as you always take, I'll gladly live farther south!! :-)

 

Great sky, Baldur! Interesting choice of foreground, as well.

very easthetic view on polution. interesting how this metal structures standing like giant sculptures in the flatland, with clouds of doom. well we all need light ;~) very moody picture. mike

I like this very much, Baldur. The pylons become sculptural art through your lense. And I don't think I see any polution. I understand it's steam from the underground, and I think I know that your main energy source in Iceland is geothermic power. Regards

hello Baldur, i like very much this new theme and picture. Geometry of the smoke that come in counterpoint of the rythm of electric lines is really strucking. Colors are really pleasant too.
As the first thought seeing this picture is pollution and that it is not true , i would propose a less symbolic title like "experimental geothermy" that would be less ambiguous in my mind.
between your two titles, i prefer 'iron army'.
have fun.

This is gorgeous...a strange word to use for these iron structures, but they appear almost lacy in their sihouettes, and very delicate. The colors are outstanding as is the composition. Nice work!

Interesting image, Baldur. I think the title "Iron Army" fits well....I envisioned this convoy moving away from the battle that has just taken place in the distance. Nice light on the steam.

This is beautifully composed to me. The repeating towers marching off into the distance like alien giants, the tense lines piercing the edges of the frame and the smoke are compelling and suggest a War of the Worlds.

Excellent!! It seems an unreal image, but causes a great impression

Superb and meaningful - good work! Greetings Paul

I bet the power company would like to get a hold of this one, lovely.

I like your title and am amazed at how you capture these everyday structures so beautifully.

Great photo!! Ligthing composition and overal impact is very good.

i agree with everything that's just been said!

Very fine work. Only preference here would be to shave a bit off the bottom as its heaviness of dark tones tends to draw the eye.

Lou Ann, mike, Michael, Pingu Pingu, Linda, Stephen, Kent, Llüisa, Paul, Max, Sriram, Atle, Rita and Gary: Thank you very much for your kind and constructive comments. I appreciate it very much. We are learning from each other.

 

Kind regards, Baldur

Excelent shot as usual.

That really is a formidable army and one that

is not getting any smaller in Iceland.

 

Fantastic shot Baldur, one of your best ;) keep it up.

Jakob and Palmi: Thank you for your kind and encouraging comments. I appreciate it very much.

 

To Jakob: Interesting point.

To Palmi: I intend to do so.

 

Regards, Baldur

The pilons almost look fake here, strange effect. I would like to see this without them, with just the land, sky horizon, but of course that's another photograph. :-)

another great one.

e e: That would surely be another photograph.

 

Kurt: Thank you.

 

Thank you for your comments.

 

Regards, Baldur

Excellent! Very well composed and beautiful lighting. Congrats!

While some times, cables seem to be a mess, here they are a pleasure to the eye. One of the few times that nobody will say to clone out the cables... The background is also fantastic.

Juan and Armindo: Thank you for your thoughtful comments. When I noticed the light, I thought: This is a challenge and with my 300mm f/4L lens I think I´ve made what most people would say unattractive things look interesting and maybe even nice. This is my way to look at these things in a positive way. As I´ve said before: The Iron Army is a peaceful army which brings us light and quality of life.

 

Kind regards, Baldur

 

I don´t think I can add anything that hasn´t been said above me other than well done.
