Power House Route

Whenever we visit my FIL, we don't take the short route in going home. It became a routine for us to drive by the Power House here in Weirton so that we could see some deer.  There are also some rabbits and raccoon roaming around the field.
There is also an army reserve center by the  high school campus.
It is also a perfect location to watch the sunset.  The power lines somehow ruin the  whole  view but  it still gorgeous.
"I remarked constantly, just at sunset, in these latitudes, that the eastern horizon was brilliantly illuminated with a kind of mock sunset. This in a short time disappeared, to be soon succeeded by another similar in character, but more faint."
-George Grey-

    Viewed in this way, the power lines are very dramatic and quite beautiful.

    I agree with those who thought you put those power lines and towers to good use in framing a magnificent sunset. As for the deer, I find them impossible to Resist.
