OPPD. Sarpy County, Nebraska. May 2012.

Since Cleco abandoned the really thick crossarms used in the 90's, they've returned to using double arms for recloser poles.

These were replaced last year.

230kv and 115kv lines going into substation soon to be replaced by a single double circuit pole (horizontal post style). (South Carolina Gas and Electric)

This line has become quite the leaner line.

These run from east to west all the way across the state. They run into Texas, turn north, come back through LA and go up to Arkansas

For some reason the pole looks like its turned to the side.

A whole mess of lines going into Cleco's Acadia Power plant.

These are the only ones I've seen on Slemco's grid with insulators like this. They've probably not upgraded them expecting LUS to expand this way eventually.

This substation was completed two years ago. It is about a mile away from the city power plant.

This powerline cut in West Brookfield was at peak foliage when this photo was taken in mid-October. With it's bisecting stonewalls, exposed ledges breaking through patches of little bluestem grass, and aggregations of such early successional plants as juniper, highbush blueberry, sweet fern and winterberry, it's easy to not only get glimpses of what the central Massachusetts uplands looked like during the height of pastoral agriculture, but to see why these right-of-ways remain important islands of biodiversity on our modern landscape. This particular section of right-of-way supports such interesting species as American butternut, wild indigo and fern-leaved false foxglove, as well as such birds as field sparrow, indigo bunting, eastern towhee and brown thrasher.

Two 34.5kv lines crossing each other for two different companies.

the days are long, and they sing you a song

about how all your troubles have come

we hold it all inside, our sunlight ends

we'll never let it go, i think you understand

we drive around all the mystery towns

i can see it now, it's all in my head

staring down at the gravity ground

when you're this high up, you never wanna come down

when i was lost in your eyes, was i trying to find

a way beyond all the palm tree powerlines

(wooo... i'd do it again)

dreaming dreams of material things

i try to wake you up, i do what i can

let me take you to some places i've seen

down a two-way road, i know where it goes

when i was lost in your eyes, was i trying to find

a way beyond all the palm tree powerlines

Could be a lot sharper but was interested to see what the lens could do handheld at 1/125 in temperatures below -17C. Actually I just forgot to change my ISO..

The line on the right goes to the West end of Louisiana while the one on the right makes a trip about 200 miles down to the coast.
