This photo isn’t about power lines so much as it is about tree trimming. You are driving along looking at beautiful trees along the road and you come across this ugly, misshapen u-shaped tree. It has been pruned to allow the power lines to pass though the branches. Tell me who would trim a tree like this? Someone with a dull chainsaw and no sense or knowledge of trees? I know the linemen don’t have time to prune trees unless there is an emergency (with a tree on the line.) In this area the power company hires a contractor to prune the trees. I say, hire someone else! Why wouldn’t you just cut the tree to an even height below the power lines. That one huge limb hanging over the road just looks ridiculous and is probably a danger in high winds. This isn’t even the worst tree. There was just nowhere to pull over to a get a shot of the other ones.
Sorry for the rant, but really...
