This sunset was taken on my way home from my mom's house on Lyon's Rd. I love how the pattern repeats and vanishes in the distance. It really gives a sense of scale to make the sun look huge.
This pole is cracked and rotten through and through. Judging by the direction of the lean, I'm guessing this was caused by either Hurricane Rita (2005) or Hurricane Lili(2002) because this was already broken before Gustav last year.
I used the HDR program qtpfsgui here to actually reduce the dynamic range of the photo, to bring out the shaddows rather than the highlights.

M27 Dundas sub westbound during a thunderstorm while parked under high tension power line tower. What could go wrong?.
Visiting my grandma in Pangasinan again and it happens to be the time that my other uncle and auntie also visited from the States.
Not much really in the streets for photography, so I made due with randomness.

This is an older pole. It seems when the lines were upgraded the crossarms were kept but the narrow braces were replaced with wide ones.
These are Cleco's High tension wires between Carencro, LA and Lafayette. The bottom wire is actually part of LUS's Fiberoptic network.

Heading out now on the Powerline Trail. The trail was cut in the early 1900s to aid in the installation of (surprise!) powerlines. It runs for 10 1/4 miles from eastern Kapa'a to Princeville, providing changing views and often changing weather as you head from north to south, from the coast, inland.

Powerlines outside Deneysville in the Free State, South Africa.
[Yes, we do have electricity, occasionally...... :) ]
Uncropped, just resized for uploading to Flickr.
A view of the full VR-V/Line collection in Dec 2011. 7 locos and 58 wagons in total. Financial pressure and having to make choices has meant the sale of most of what you see here.
All of Slemco's H-Frames have double cross arms. These were built in the late 90's due to expanding needs outside of Eunice, LA. Almost all Slemco H-frames have one or two 12kv circuits following them.
I left work in Rancho Cordova and headed straight to Julie's house, she lives...technically in Galt...so I went the back way, all the way down Sunrise to Grantline...as you may expect I got stuck in a wee bit of traffic, so from my car, I shot a couple sunset shots... Not bad if I do say so myself, from my car no less :o)
Hooks were used to add the top wire. Because the trees grow so rapidly here, this is a common site to see them growing into the powerlines. Slemco and LUS actually regularly trim the trees around their lines.
