Z/ABC Wednesday

 ZAP! Don't touch

What would the western world do without electricity? I am paralyzed when it's down for just a few hours!

That's funny. As soon as I saw the photo I thought, "Zap" Perfect!!

Kathy said...

You're so clever! Good one.

jabblog said...

It's quiet when the electricity's out, though;-)

fredamans said...

I love the pastels in the sky behind the lines.

Carver said...

I'm the same way about electricity. I remember how important it is when it is down. Great shots.

Gillian Olson said...

Lovely sky behind that silhouette.

photowannabe said...

Perfect word for the letter Z.
I sure don't want to get zapped.
So thankful for electricity though. No blogging! How would we survive?

kaye said...

You are clever and I would hate to be without electricity too.

It's certainly an essential, isn't it?

I don't ever want to be without electricity for long! I keep my fingers crossed every winter because I know how a powerful ice storm can cause so many outages and for days on end. Hubby is a rural electric lineman and has worked many such outages in the state over the years. High winds/storms can cause a lot of outages in the warmer months, too. I don't want to find out what that's like!

Very clever. I have actually started a small collection of these electricity pylons - their designs fascinate me. But i never thought of the word 'zap'.

All those lines are such an annoyance when time for pics but oh, so needed!

Halcyon said...

These are high voltage transmission lines prob from the nuclear station in Pickering. I rather like the looks of them. :)

Jama said...

Can't do without electricity too, thank God,we don't have many power failure here!

Rose said...

I like that longer view...really nice. As to what we would do without electricity...I have no idea. I cannot stand to be without internet now...I would give up tv before I would give up the internet.

Barb said...

Love the patterns here in wires and snow and transformers.

Lowell said...

Shocking! Just shocking!

Martha Z said...

We have become rather dependent on it.

Ms. Burrito said...

Dangerous.

Zing is it for me. Hope you can visit and see. Have a nice day!

Gattina said...

Absolutely. Without that kindly zap, nothing in my house would work. Nothing. Wish we were building some options.

Paula Scott said...

Very creative post! Where would we be without electricity? Shocking to think of...

Francisca said...

Good one, EG. I know what's it like to sit in a blackout... and it ZAPS me every time how addicted I am to all my toys that need electricity.
