Calm landscape at Nr. Vosborg hede

Nothing like power lines running down the alley

Double H-Frames going toward Abbeville

I'm not sure if these are 230KV lines. They connect to the LUS substation.

Powerline, Peary Street, Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia

Powerlines along Highway 81 in Maple Grove, Minnesota.

Most of this line has been upgraded to pole mounted insulators. This 10 mile section is the only part that still has crossarms.

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.

Power line cutting through farm land in rural southern Indiana. Sediver aqua glass fog bells attached to ceramic disks make up the insulator strings.

Unlike alot of people, I don't worry that much about powerlines showing up in pictures, as I feel that they are a real part of the american landscape......This however, is a complete photographic fiasco :)

Turning toward Abbeville to sell power to Abbeville, LA's city power company.

A closer shot of the new building connection. The 3 metering loops are on the opposite side of the pole.

These actually used to belong to Cleco way back in the day. LUS had to buy them about 15 years ago when the city expanded out this way.

The hens teeth. Ockert Coramid Powerline Extreme has a breaking strain of 1/4 tonne but weighs just 1.5g per metre. The best kite line on the planet. Hard to find.

Today we walked atop the Malahat then drove over to the Kinsol Trestle. After a windy, rainy start to the day it cleared up beautifully so we jumped in the car and headed for the Malahat. We took the Shawnigan Lake road into Stebbings Road where we turned left southward up into the hills.

We drove in for 1.6km then turned left onto Goldstream Heights which goes another 6km right up to the top of the Malahat Range overlooking Saanich Inlet and Finlayson Arm.

If this is the proposed route for the Trans Canada Trail from Goldstream westward to join the existing trail section at Sooke Lake Road. Forget it! Who wants to cycle over this mountain range? No one.

This pole was put for the Winn-Dixie when it was built in the very early 90's. The store is now closed.
