Wires are a mess.
Perhaps it's a brain malfunction, but along with coat hangers, I often find myself tangled in these wretched things and find they are the culprits of acute stress in everyday routine life.
(-) Wires tend to be placed in the negative/indifferent category. I haven't met many people fond of wires or, they seemingly create less opinion and discussion. In the West, wires are usually hidden.
Who dares expose the brutality of wire?
On the subject of wires, and mainly telegraph wires, they are exceptionally apparent (to some) in Asian countries. Total exposure. Now, currently, being in Vietnam - wires are overflowing (and strike me as hazardous). The general aesthetic pleasures in life do not always counteract the ugly ones in The Nam. 'We live the practical life here in Vietnam'. Beauty plays less importance.
Hanoi, or any other larger city were strong contenders, but they're too obvious. They're cities.
I moved on with my adventure and am now in Bac Ha; a small quiet town surrounded by (let's hear it again), mountains, rice fields and hill tribes. It's a town that livens on the weekends, for it boasts an extraordinary market. When the rare chance of days of clarity came about, I initially tried my utmost best to dodge the annoying wires and focused my camera snapping on the better of the scenic beauty. It proved difficult...
Wires. Everywhere.
Can I make you look pretty?
(+) However, having walked around a fair bit, I've extracted the good from the bad, engaged another perspective and captured the complexity and the hidden utility of wired beauty.. particularly amongst nature. Diamonds in the rough, I tell ya'.
The floatation, the shapes, the meeting, the sway, the use, the need for, the abstract, the drape, the angled logic, the shadowed effects, the blend, the labyrinthine...have a browse.
Wires (in Bac Ha) - to sum up - are, useful practical makeshift forms of communication and connection.
Regardless of where you may be, you will witness Wireism.
They can be pretty.

As you can see below, I've become a tad wire crazy. These are the effects of Wireism.
