Transmission Towers in Autumn Rain Under Bridge

Steel lattice towers rise from frost-hardened fields, their gray metal surfaces slick with steady rain under a cable-stayed bridge span. Golden and rust-colored autumn leaves cling to scattered trees in the distance, against the wet, dark earth. Misty diffused dawn light softens the horizon where the towers step away toward the edge of the frame. Water droplets bead on the metal beams, catching the pale morning glow. The massive concrete pillars of the bridge anchor the composition above, casting long, soft shadows across the damp ground. Rain streaks the air, blurring the distant landscape into a soft gray wash. One raindrop slides down a diagonal cable, tracing a clear path on the steel.
