I guess you don't really need me to tell you that the sun was shining on the pylons as a storm was brewing.
Power pylons on the cliff edge of Glen Canyon taking power from the 1,320 megawatt power house at the base of Glen Canyon Dam. It is approximately 700 feet from this pylon at the cliff edge to the Colorado River Below. Coconino County, Arizona.

CD 302 Hemingray power insulators still in service use in Ohio after more then 100 years of service duty. It is extremely rare to see large colored glass pintype power insulators still in service use today.
CD 302 insulators are a moderate size power insulator that were produced by the Hemingray Glass Company in Muncie, Indiana. They were produced from c1893 to 1920 for use on early power distribution with a voltage rating of 40,000 volts. CD 302 insulators are known as the "Muncie" style insulator, although some have the Ohio embossing on the reverse side instead of Muncie Type.
This shot shows three in service with all three having the Ohio embossing on the reverse side. All insulators have the Hemingray / Patent May 2ND 1893 on the front embossing.
Looks like there was a break in the wire at one time. See in note.
This gull is actually about two miles from the power plant in the background, but the distance is compressed due to my telephoto lens.
This Edgewater Generating Station is coal fired and is due to be closed down next year after 91 years of service. The site will be cleaned up and repurposed for another use.

This photo was taken in 2013 during my previous Project 365…please visit my album for this “REMASTERED” Project 365 as I revisit each day of 2013 for additional photos to share!!
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D5200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

Next to San Jose is a small town called Alviso, located at the San Francisco Bay in California. I left work before sunset and first went to the Alviso Marina County Park to take photos of the colorful salt ponds. After sundown I went across the town towards the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge. These electric power transmission lines and clouds invited me to take this symmetrical shot.
I processed a balanced, a paintery, and a realistic HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

A pole line along the former B&O Railroad (Ohio & Mississippi RR) that runs through southern Indiana between St Louis, Missouri and Cincinnati, Ohio.
The communication circuits of telegraph and telephone are long gone, but still in use are the signaling circuits for code, and a 440 volt power circuit used for power on the various signal apparatuses.
Never did find any good insulators, but back in the late 60's and early 70's they were good finds at that time. Since our family used to camp at Starve-Hollow State Recreation Area nearby, my dad would take me to this railroad to hunt for the insulators. If only I had a decent camera back then.
This shot was taken just west of Medora, Indiana with lots of gondolas parked in the siding.

Adelaide's main power source, the Torrens Island power station, seen from the salt evaporation ponds near Green Fields, a northern suburb of Adelaide. Surreal - industrial practicality dominates this area, a minimal colour palette adds to the effect - quite a fruitful photographic haunt although I wish the sun had been out. At certain times in full sun those mounds of harvested salt glisten pure white.

At the time this photo was taken, Bluffton, Indiana was still using the old 6.6A series street lighting loop, which only a few cities and towns were using at the time. The street lighting circuits were changed over to modern parallel circuit system a few years after the photo was taken.
In this shot the the porcelain insulator (U-399B) on the top right is doing want it is intended to do, splits the series loop that leads to the street lighting.
The two glass on the top crossarm left are two CD 230 Hemingray - 512's with the left one a D-512. The two glass insulators on the lower buckarm supporting the two wires from the series loop are most likely CD 239 Kimble - 830's.

Part of my glass insulator collection showing the variety of shapes and colors on display in five different lighted cabinets. I've been a serious glass insulator collector for nearly 50 years finding my very first insulator around 1967-68.
Glass insulators were first produced in the 1840's to support telegraph lines. Later as time went on they were used for telephone lines and power lines which included street lighting, street railways, trolleys, and interurban lines. Also used for fire and police alarm circuits and even electric fencing. Along railroads glass insulators were used for telegraph, telephone, signaling, and power use. Basically any electric line that was needed for support from insulators to prevent electrical leakage.
When there was no longer a demand for glass pin-type insulators In North America, the last of the glass insulators were produced in 1978 by the Kerr Glass Plant located in Dunkirk, Indiana.
Looks better in large.

This photo is a tribute to a great horror movie Shocker that scared me so much that I couldn't open TV anymore because of bad guy Horace Pinker who could enter inside TV, he enter inside of people and electricity too.

Another early start, with an 0250 alarm, I had a dream of getting the sleepers in the Lune gorge with mist on the river below. However most unusually the sleeper was let away from Preston quite early (it usually arrives very early and departs no more than a few minutes before booked time.) I decided not to bother trying to photograph it when I got here (it was due imminently) and instead search for a decent vantage point for this which would follow it forward from Barton & Broughton loop. It isn't really quite what I wanted, but there is always next summer.

Powerline insulator nailed to a quaking aspen tree around 1897 once used to carry alternating current electric power from Nunns generating station on the Provo River near the mouth of Provo Canyon to the gold mines at in Mercur, Utah a distance of about 32 miles.
The Nunns Provo Station Power Plant was the first 44,000 volt hydroelectric plant in America. Built in 1897 by Luclen L. Nunn at an estimated cost of just $50,000, the plant harnessed the power of the Provo River to generate electricity and transmit power over a distance of 32 miles to mining operations in Mercur, Utah. This was almost three times the voltage of any existing line in the nation at that time, and was by far the longest.
To staff his power plants Nunn created a work study program called the Telluride Institute, headquartered near the Olmsted Power Plant, located in the Provo Canyon near Orem, Utah. Upon completion of the course the graduates were sent on to gain further education through the issuance of scholarships. Many of these students went on to study at Cornell University, where they resided at Telluride House, managed by Telluride Association, which Nunn founded.

Guyed Pylons carrying long haul power lines from the Jim Bridger power plant about 170 miles to the east to, among other places, Pocatello, Idaho about 130 miles to the north west. As far as I have been able to determine, the pylons are guyed for virtually that entire distance. These are near Cokeville, Lincoln County, Wyoming. Happy Telegraph Tuesday.
