No respect

The typical telephone pole gets none whatsoever.

But then, do those homely -- but supposedly necessary -- things deserve any respect?

The utility companies have been putting them up for over a century, , everywhere we look, and using the airspace immediately overhead as their domain, a place to fill up with wires, transformers, insulators, circuit breakers and all manner of other stuff. We mostly take that for granted and tune out the ugliness since it's "indispensible" to life as we know it. So, is it any wonder some folks turn utility poles into virtual pincushions like this?
