British landscape photographer Fay Godwin (1931 - 2005), was once criticised in her later work for including such things as telegraph poles and electricity pylons in some of her more rural images. She defended this by saying that if that is what is there, then why not?
I agree. Although it's sometimes possible to find a viewpoint to hide such peculiarities to create a more pleasing rustic scene, there are times when honesty is the best policy. With the photo above I made no attempt to disguise what isn't nature, nor considered the use of the clone tool in post processing.
