They leave the median and finally go to the side of the street

Laurel, Maryland, April 5, 2012: Patuxent Research Refuge's water tender and fire crews flank the western boundary of a controlled burn. Burn conditions were chosen to blow smoke away from powerlines. The burn was done at Patuxent Research Refuge's Savannah Restoration Unit to increase refuge species and habitat diversity. Specifically, the refuge hoped to increase density and diversity of rare darkling beetles and forest floor plants. Credit: Sandy Spencer/USFWS.

It was built as an H-frame to cross the interstate

Multiple Angles

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.

These lines follow I-10 from Henderson, LA all the way to Beaumont, TX. Notice the pole on the left side had to be braced.

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.

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

each day at 7 those birds assembled on this powerline. I liked the lines

This neighborhood is loaded with these poles with missmatched chicken wings brackets.

LUS changed this pole with the last two weeks.

It never really stormed, but the clouds looked pretty angry.

Vancouver has a lot of alleys with stretches of powerlines and transformers on old utility poles.

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.

These 69KV's are one of only two sets in the city that aren't vertically bundled.
