So,
what do we like about this picture? Horses are nice, as are barns and
fences.
And what is not to like? The angles, for sure; the slope these
horses are on make the picture seem tilted when it's not (see the roof line of
the barn). Also, the overhead wires, which are prominent and disrupt the
otherwise bucolic scene. How much better might the picture be without the
wires?
But imagine not the picture but the actual scene, the actual place,
without the wires. Imagine the farmer going out to his barn in the
morning, in the dark, to milk his cows with nothing but his own cold hands.
Before the power lines were put in. Imagine how he felt the day the
poles went in right in the middle of his field.
I imagine he likes the view just fine.
