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.

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

It was looking pretty dark and gloomy outside today which was actually a welcome change from the heat. I even got sprinkled on getting this shot.
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.
