 Wanted something more than just power lines and lightning bolts.

----------------------------

WOW!!! My first top 10 finish. Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments and scores. This was seriously a last minute entry after I played with some other ideas during the week. Then I thought of the Rush album Grace Under Pressure with the egg in a C-Clamp and went to the tool room to find one. Instead found this adjustable bar clamp and figured why not. Cool thing is the bar made a great handle so I could reach around the tripod and take the shot. :)
