X is for X-Crossing, X-Beam Support and More

Theme ~ Good Things:


I originally took this picture because I liked the red highlights, but I never posted it. I found it in my drafts and realized it demonstrated many different uses of the letter X. So I thought, perfect, I will save it for the A to Z and have a difficult letter covered. Can you see them all? 

If not, here they are:

The phone or power lines cross; the tower at the cement plant uses X-shaped bars for support; there's another X further down to the left of the tower; finally, of course, there's the X to mark the railroad crossing. 

But I still like it best for the reflection of the sunset in the background sky and all the red lights that glow in the twilight of an early evening.

  17. Great use of the letter X--your photo shows that you have a "good eye." Please pat your co-blogger for me.

  18. X-cellent! Inger, hubs and I did look at that shot. He still hears the train whistles and wonders which crossing they're at. . .

    I would have noticed the red lights and patterns, too. I was at the foot doctor this morning so late getting by.

  20. That's a lot of Xs. I wonder what sounds it makes when the wind blows through the wires.

  22. Läcker bild! Det har vi fått lära oss nu på fotocirkeln att man ska fotografera med diagonaler i bilden vid stadsmiljöer eller landskap där man ser diagonaler
