The Semaphore Tower is located on Chatley Heath. The Tower was once part of a chain which was used to pass messages between the Admiralty in Whitehall and the Royal Naval Dockyard in Portsmouth , sort of a very early telegraph system using line of sight tower sending messages in Semaphore instead of wires . It was built in 1822 and is now the only restored surviving tower in a line of signalling stations that stretched from London to Portsmouth. The Tower is open to the public once a month between March and September - not sure since Covid though .

I’ve counted 172 utility poles, 14 of them numbered at the top (front and back) and spaced about every 0.5 miles (0.8 km), on a 5.6-mile (9.0-km) stretch of secondary roadway (the Galien-Buchanan Road) in southern Berrien County, Michigan. The numbers, black on a yellow background, range from 17 (at the west end) to 30 (at the east end). I assume this numbering system means something to maintenance crews.
A roll-back truck, lots of poles and wires, and some gorgeous clouds. Lakeville, MN at the intersection of County 50 and Cedar Ave.
Endon Hall, built by local landowner William Clayton in 1837 had, at one point, two large clocks on his house; to make sure the workers passing it had no excuse for being late clocking on at his quarry a few hundred yards uphill...
The telegraph pole - a much later addition to the view, has a beautiful clematis growing up it
This hilltop graveyard serves the villages of Arthurstown & Ballyhack. I was trying to find the graves of some sailors who perished when the American sailing ship Alfred D. Snow foundered on rocks near Loftus Hall in 1888 with the loss of 29 crewmen. The body of the ship's captain W.H. Wilby was washed ashore in Arthurstown & several of the men were buried in Ballyhack graveyard. Sadly I couldn't find their graves but I will go back to look again.
This article inspired my visit www.independent.ie/regionals/newrossstandard/news/snow-sh... Capt. Wilby's great-granddaughter came over to Ireland from Maine recently for the ceremony & there is a fine commemoration plaque at the graveyard entrance (see next photo)

Goats volunteer for anything including a Tongue Tuesday photo, provided that you pay them with treats. I didn't have any but there were many kids who fed them and that worked too. :)
I remarked recently that since joining the Telegraph Tuesday group I seem to see the things everywhere, usually spoiling a good landscape shot. Here's a case in point: the view into the Clydach gorge from Gilwern Hill. What a shot this would be without those lines.
Then again, I wouldn't be able to use it for telegraph Tuesday then. HTT!
The intersection of Cedar Ave and Highway 50 in Lakeville is always a great place for wires and trucks.
