Electric Warrior

An electric warrior on the prowl rivals
medieval machines of science and speed,
echoes of direct current
flickering through the night.

We saw a few on our dog walk last night. Good to see them making a return, but it still doesn’t match the numbers we recall from our childhood.

A car in the background is not something I would expect from a nature picture, but in this case it perfectly adds to the atmosphere and message. Very creative!

In my opinion it only enhances the contrast, highlighting (ha, yep) the warrior even more than its tail does. Well chosen variety of background I say.
