very very very neat shot. i love how the buildings almost look like they're bowing towards the telephone pole. the picture reminds me of a quote i heard in psychology the other day, i can't remember the exact words or who said it, but it was about every man being connected to every other by a thousand invisible threads, that no action happens without reason. oops, i hope i managed not to bore you... + fav

Definately cityscapes. You've made the right choice - I don't think this would fit in with the streets section.

The hallmark of a great photographer is the ability to wander throught the everyday and find shapes and patterns, in turn composing them in a way that sheds new light on the object(s) being photographed - whether it be a different perspective or eye pleasing symmetry. I think you've done that before - the pole itself is an incredibly simple object, yet you've picked a perspective that does so much more to the scene. I love how the cables radiate outwards from the center of the shot.

As ~manicmantis pointed out, the wide angle of the frame leaves us with the feeling that the buildings are leaning towards the pole - almost trying to grab more cable etc.

You've done a great job of showing how we as a society are interconnected through telecommunications systems. Last but not least - love the sepia tones.

This is the best shot I've seen all week - no joke. I'm glad I caught this on the main page before it dissapeared into the depths of DeviantArt.

I'd also like to add that quality photography like this is often overlooked. Shame.
