The name for this, Rural Electrification, is, of course, not Horace Sykes’ but our own. It may point to the barely detectable power or telephone line cutting across the center of this scene or to the stimulating effect the composition of this subject may switch on in you as it does in me. Here we have a “Sykes” road leading, this time, directly into the center of the arrangement. This is unusual for Sykes and his roads. And then we are given to all sides these wonderfully various masses and colors and our own purple mountains majesty on the horizon. [Please CLICK to enlarge]
