It is funny but also a little sad that almost every comment mentions the lightpost in a negative way as a distraction. In my mind, it is the lightpost which actually gives this shot a meaning beyond a trivial scenic photo, through the juxtaposition of human power and the "Higher power" (I don't mean necessarily divine, but the power of Nature).
Oh well, I guess my idea was "lost in translation" :)

I chose this as a favorite a few months ago but never commented. After reading your details, I would have to say that the light-post was one of the elements that intrigued me with this shot. It certainly made the title/picture connection, but more than that if you think of the ethereal or esoteric. I actually find the trees more of a distraction if there has to be one, but for me, the element they represent in the shot is balance. Love the cloud formation/thunderhead and the color balance across the scene - not to be religious (especially since I am very non religious) but what immediately came to mind was "on Earth as it is in Heaven." Nice shot!
