Seriously, I looked out at this scene and thought "friggin' power lines" which reminded me of my complaint years ago about the power lines in front of the old capital, which in turn reminded me of your ensuing discussion of Freidlander. Hence, the photo. Comedy.

You could have walked down the hill a little and framed the street sign and lights by the skyline and created a juxtaposition of scale . . . not to mention that might have encouraged you to put the horizon anywhere but in the middle, you have a perfect set up for the rule of thirds, bottom third asphalt, middle third buildings and trees, top third sky. On this image I agree, the power lines suck and it isn't my favorite.
