Utility guide wires, photographed on May 30, 2022, near South Purmela, Texas

That’s exactly what happened in this case. One can imagine that a precisionist artist like Charles Sheeler would have similarly responded. This geometric, artificial overlay of colorful guide wires applies an illusion of order on top of the landscape, yet it also brings pure aesthetic excitement.
