It's just as bad in the cities, the beauty of a cathedral spoiled by the utility wires. But you wouldn't be able to view it at night without the light sources provided by those utility wires.
If I suggest "chain saw", I'll probably get into trouble (and so would you), so I won't mention it
Overhead wires/cables, plus their poles/pylons, are a common problem that spoil so many places around the world
If you have a Photo Editor that does Content Aware Fill, that make make the task less daunting, at least from what I've seen in demo videos. I have CS5, which does it, but I can never get it to work for me, I must be doing something daft!
