Sharing her thoughts on her photographs, photographer Annette said: “At first, I was drawn to the unique appearance of the transmission towers, but the more I photographed them, the more worried I became about how technology is finding its way into and impacting the natural environment. Will our children in the future consider these towers normal?”
