A low-angle photograph of a utility pole against a bright blue sky with scattered clouds. The pole is made of weathered wood, with a metal guard attached to one side. Power lines and a street light extend from the top of the pole, as well as communication cables.

My last picture of a bird on a power line was 6 days ago. I need another one, a calm image to start the weekend. I spent a lot of time thinking and experimenting with this one. At first, as I instinctively always do, I placed the subject (in this case, the bird) in the center of the 1:1 frame, with more power line and less negative space. Then I played around with the crop a bit, and now I think that more negative space gives the image a sense of calm, with the bird almost gazing into the quiet. And that's exactly what I need for the weekend.

Square black-and-white image with a white frame showing a section of the sky without a horizon. Faint cloud patterns are visible, mostly in the lower half of the image. In the foreground, on the lower left half of the image, three thick, high-contrast black power lines run diagonally from the top left to the bottom left. Right next to them, a thinner but equally high-contrast black line runs from the top left to the bottom right, curving slightly downward. A small, nearly black, high-contrast bird sits on this curved line, approximately in the middle of the image height-wise, and slightly to the left of the center.

Sometimes nothing inspires me to take photos when I’m out. Everything feels boring, uninteresting. This morning, I had to force myself to go outside, and surprisingly, it ended up being so much fun. It took me half an hour just to cover the first 200 meters. I kept noticing things that wanted to be composed and photographed. That doesn’t say much about the quality of the photos—I probably deleted 95% of them—but the process itself brought me so much joy. I took tons of photos of birds on and around power lines. As a reward, I got pooped on.

Square black-and-white image with a white frame showing a three-quarter moon, slightly out of focus in the center of the background. In the foreground, a high-voltage power line is clearly visible, angled slightly from left to right through the middle of the image, visually passing through the moon. The wire shines silver, with individual strands visible. Right in the center of the image, in front of the moon, two starlings are perched on the line. The one on the right is facing right, with its beak 'touching' the upper right edge of the moon. The one on the left seems to be scratching itself and also 'touches' the upper left edge of the moon. The sky in the background is a dark gray, while the wire and moon are bright, and the birds are clearly recognizable as starlings.

Upside-down world. In all my pictures of power lines, they always appear black. It never occurred to me to think about their actual color. Until this first image. The sun lights them up so that they shine brightly, almost silver, while the barbed wire, which is normally silver, appears black. Only then did I realize that power lines have no insulation and you can actually see the bare metal. They likely appear black in my photos because, on one hand, they are exposed against a brighter background, and on the other, they reflect the darker ground. Fascinating!

Square color image with a white border showing a section of sky filled with large, dark rain clouds. No horizon is visible. In the foreground, brightly shining silver power lines stretch almost horizontally across the image. Along the bottom edge, in front of the dark clouds, a black barbed wire runs horizontally.

In the lower third, a high-voltage tower stands with numerous power lines extending out of the frame to the right and left. In the lower right corner, a plane is flying, visually positioned between the power lines. In the center of the image, a rain shower can be seen falling from the dark cloud above and behind the high-voltage tower.

Another weird idea, i'd like to try:

adding a 3rd member to my #zfs mirror, but it's #iSCSI over fast ethernet over #powerline 😅 - put it in the cellar, 3 storeys down, see what happens.

I've got everything i'd need for a test setup - that little Wyse 3040 thin client has 1 USB3 port…
*record scratch, rewind*

I think #virtio NICs can be manually throttled to a fraction of "fast ethernet".

Hmm, virtualised, the test would exclude the weird old powerline bridges, though.

Back to Plan A, then!
