This is an image taken by the artist "Moneyless," from Milan, Italy, who was recently visiting the bay area [see more]. This is a photograph of a wire structure suspended (by trees, presumably), highlighted with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background. It's a fresh scenic shot, and I admire it's graphic cleanliness without resorting to Photoshop. It's a situation, an actual, physical document of a visual event or construction. The sharp angularity of the geometry echoes that of the bridge, while providing contrast to the organic undulations of the hills in the background. It's like an analog version of the "layers" of Photoshop.
