Took this picture during my "Holiday on bicycle 2007": day 11 (of 16)

Power lines in front of petrochemical plants in Texas City, Texas, viewed from I-45 leaving Galveston Island.

400 kV power lines coming from Olkiluoto nuclear power plant.

Cleco appears to be designing 34.5kvs like coop poles now.

When this line was upgraded, only the braces were added. The crossarm pole was never changed and neither was the pole.

110kv transmission line support of the "Shatura type" of 1953 in the Filevsky Park area in the west of Moscow, this transmission line support is located near the Filevsky park metro station, but soon this 110kv transmission line support will be replaced with a modern multi-faceted transmission line support

Doesn't look sturdy.

Old Adirondack Power and Light double-circuit transmission line tower (possibly 34.5 kV design) in the city of Amsterdam, NY. View NW to substation from Vrooman Avenue at Hawk Street. One circuit is used for a 13.2 kV distribution, the other is not connected. Functionally superceded by the adjacent double-circuit 115 kV transmission line (center). Single phase 7.6kV on the right.

A switch between the two circuits.

This sunrise happened last month, before the deluge occurred. The Bay Trail along Steinberger Slough has to be one of my favorite places to get sunrise shots: it's in walking distance, there's the slough and San Francisco Bay, and there can be lots of wading birds getting their breakfast. Alas, for me and Jackie, the city is building up the levees to meet new code. They are laying down lots and lots of mud, so I don't think we'll be heading out here anytime soon.

Really wide crossarms on the LUS part.

Selkirk Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba.

somewhere in Ct around 1970

Entergy Lines heading toward Breaux Bridge and Henderson LA with LUS on the right following.

This is the pole I uploaded the other day that a person had hit in the rain and LUS had to replace it in the rain. Here's a shot of it with the old pole. You can see the guy really smashed the hell out of the old one.
