to eliminate the electrical lines and other extraneous details that mostly mess up the landscape. Occasionally I’ll think these “eyesores” enhance the subject matter, but not very often. Mostly I wish artists would leave things like power lines out. Of course, in some cases they’re an important part of the composition, but in this case you capture a timeless quality. This little building could have been there long before power lines.

And things like power lines were never meant to be beautiful or make a tableau look charming. They’re utilitarian and mostly ugly.
