These were just upgraded this year. Actually quite funny to see Entergy do a full upgrade on a circuit (poles, lines, insulators and all).

Taken with Nikon EM and NIkon Series E 28mm f/2.8 lens on expired Kodak Gold 200 film. CPL filter used to boost the blue sky. Film developed with freshly mixed Tetenal C-41 chemicals. Frame straight from the scanner. Only dust spots removed and photo resized in Lightroom 3.
This one was replaced last Thursday. Those transformers were just added but the old pole was so rotten it couldn't handle them so it had to be replaced. It seems LUS may be switching to these redish brownish poles. I've seen three or four go up this past week. They were still using black poles up until then.
This was an existing Entergy 500kv substation that Cleco built a powerplant and connected to. It now serves as a Merchant powerplant that Cleco sells wholesale power to Entergy and Slemco through. Slemco built a 138kv line from it earlier this year, and now Cleco appears to be building a new 230kv line from it.
