symbolic power

While traveling on MLK, I've been intrigued by the juxtaposition of the modern wind turbine and the older churches in the area. Man's power future is centered between the cross of the One Way Church of God Christ and the steeple of the Faith First Baptist Church, symbols of God's power.

This shot has a message but requires more work with time of day and different lens. By the way, while I was photographing, two different neighborhood residents questioned my presence (guess I looked out of place). I told them I was a photographer--to which the lady replied she had figured that out. I said that I was photographing the 3 symbols of power - cross, steeple and turbine. Talk about creating an artist statement on the spot!
