This is a little unusual for Thematic Photographic - this is a detail photo of a work of art.It's a drawing titled "Venice Blvd + Fairfax Ave Power Transmission Station" by artist Rick Oginz, in watercolor and ink on handmade paper, framed by the artist.
It hangs in my living room.
The reason I chose a cropped detail is that, because it's framed beneath glass, it's really hard to get a good photo of the piece without reflections. You really have to see it in person to enjoy it best.
Next best thing, though, is to go to Rick's website and see the other three drawings in this series, Here, Here, and Here, and read Rick's statement about why he is fascinated by things like power transmission equipment.

I really love this art work. What a great picture to have taken. Beautiful.
At first I thought you had photoshopped and played with a cartooning feature of a real photo! What an interesting piece of art!
It's always amazing to see art through the artist's eyes.
Interesting! I love the soft watercolours for such a strong subject.
Rick is a frighteningly gifted (in a great way, of course) artist, And you are frighteningly gifted - also all good - for finding the detail for this week's theme.
I love how these things play out. I always learn so much from you all!
