a prickly situation

I turned left rather than right leaving the Sunday markets, as I had wanted to see the view that I'd wanted to photograph. Lots of complicated foreshortening of electricity pylons; but literally the first thing I saw right outside the car window when I pulled up on the side of the road, was a dry thorny bush, and across the road, an old utility pole - (extras). I could look no further.
The pylons can wait for next time.
