when I was a child my brother's erector set was off limits.
the power grid of trains is off limits to me, too.
but i am drawn to these structures just as i was once drawn to my brother's skeletal constructions.

Your description raises the question of whether the attractiveness is due to the structure of the joinder of metal or whether it is due to the fact that it is off limits.
Interesting question, Dave.
Not much doubt. What is on the other side is the question.
Another point is that this shot seems so physical and concrete, and at the same time almost abstract due to its lines and to the setting. It's Brattcat's skill...
Thanks, Siu.
Oh, it's no telling how many erector set pieces I lost! Those sets are really neat.
I used my brother's Erector Set. I always seemed to run out of material regardless of what I was trying to make. I gave up on it and moved on to balls and bats.
I'm drawn to the lines and shapes. Very interesting, almost surreal photo!
It would have been a lot safer to play with your brother's erector set than to fool with the train's power grid lines!
This is a superb photo, Brattcat...a work of art! The shapes, lines and colors all work together to create something new and bold!
Whatever we think about those structures, they always make very interesting pictures!Geometry of the everyday life..
Great lines and color, industrially artistic.
Sunny :)
I am sure your brother was less dangerous than this power grid...
The geometry and the colors of these structures are captivating. Beautiful image.
Very special structures !!!

Amazing colors.
bella composicion ,un saludo
Mmm ... quite a different turn for your photography. Your background here is inspired and adds much to the impact of the structure.
More please ...
Easy answer for me. For sure the intrigue is/was the intricate design of the erector set pieces. The various combo pieces. Now, don't even start me on Lincoln Logs!!!
Your pics are always inspiring. Feeling in the mood to take pics down town. Thanks!
It is a great construction and attractive even in raw metallic form.
Such an intriguing photograph--the design, the lines, the form--and your comment interests me: my brothers willingly shared their erector sets, but those cold metal pieces had no appeal for me. You, brattcat, can see something else there.
I have taken the liberty of posting you on the Linky - this sepia is just the job for the theme.
Perhaps you will have less trouble linking in future.
I like your choice of the sepia tones. They reinforce the feeling of power in this fine image. I was the oldest so the erector set was my kingdom. Hah!
Cool structure! I took a photo of a telephone wire tower but haven't posted it yet. Thanks for following my Eagan daily photo blog! I seem to follow my comments after your comments oftentimes. Kind regards from Minnesota
Saying "no" or "you can't" nearly always makes us want to do the opposite.
