Don’t Dig Here - HTT
There is a yellow sign on the right in this photo that says, Buried Telephone Cable ... Please Call before you Dig.
I don’t know why anyone would want to dig up this stream, but there are telephone cables under the water here. I have to surmise that the reason no one has a decent land line beyond this point, is because the cables get wet. Heavy rains will make this little stream a rushing torrent and it overflows the banks. Then everyone with a land line has so much buzzing on their phone that they can’t hear what is being said. A call to the telephone company brings someone out to fish the phone tower box out of the water and we start all over again. I think everyone beyond this point has gotten rid of their land lines. I guess sometimes it doesn’t pay to bury cables.
I thought there were some nice textures in this old dead tree and muddy stream.
Happy Texture Tuesday!
