A comment about utility lines

While on the main street of Tamarindo, which is the beachfront road, taking the photos that I have posted during the last few days, something caught my eye about this scene at one of the buildings of the Tamarindo Diria Resort.

What it was, a closer view, and a bit of opinionated commentary by me, not surprisingly to regular readers, will be shown tomorrow.

Today's photo illustrates that underground utilities have not arrived in rural and small town Costa Rica. That is not surprising, as underground utilities are rare throughout the world.  Costa Rica has a lot more infrastructure needs, such as improving rural road conditions, before putting money into burying utility lines.

Overhead power lines never bothered me very much, until I became serious about photography.  I do not use photoshop and do not have the time to edit photos to try to take out unsightly power lines.

Today is Sunday, so we have new photos posted on on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.  This week we are returning to show a few more photos of Nicaragua, featuring the waterfowl in the maze of islands along the shores of Lake Nicaragua.  Naturally, they look a lot like what you would see in Costa Rica.

My eye was caught by the two guys on the roof!

Sometimes the lines can be used to good effect, but most of the time they're just a pain in the rear if you can't someone compose the picture without them!

Yep, I second the motion for improvements to Costa Rican roads.

Power and telephone lines are the bane of a photographer's existence. The view of the Arch and downtown from the East St. Louis overlook is blighted by high voltage lines running along the river. Buried power lines are almost unknown in an advanced country like Japan. They think they are safer in an earthquake but it seems like they would all just fall over.

I do use Photoshop and getting rid of power lines is harder than you might think.
