Interesting view - I like the motion in the wheels!

I like the repeating pattern of the wheels and the movement in the spokes. Nicely composed and exposed.

Well, I'm a San Franciscan by birth and upbringing, but I've never seen the power behind the cables! Nicely composed and captured, Michael. Helen
