Thank you for noticing the wires, Fong Lam. I debated about whether to clone or crop them out. Finally, I decided that they made the image unique. The wires add a hint about how the photograph is oriented---which way is up, and how far. For the composition be a stairway to heaven, establishing that the bottom was not too far from the ground seemed useful. Plus the three wires are a nice little set of parallel lines.
Funny how much thought goes into such a seemingly minor detail.
