Skies Over the Appalachians
I is for Intrusive....as in the aesthetic ridgeline of the mountains was mared by the intrusive cell tower.
Always on the lookout for a potential Skywatch post, I stopped to take this photo of the mountains against the sky as I returned Tuesday from the visit to my daughter's. The cell tower was definitely out of character among the mountain ridges of the idyllic landscape. As you can see I managed to point my camera at an angle as to keep the tower out of the first photo. I wanted to share the second photo showing the contrast of what has always been with what our scenic views are becoming. The continued proliferation of cell towers seems destined to mar our most scenic areas. Our modern day wireless communication makes it necessary; but at what cost?
Happy Skywatching
