Yesterday in the desert between El Paso and Las Cruces I found this insulator. Broken pieces are fairly commom, but full sized ones that are intact are rare.

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)

See my review at Cameralabs.
Looks like they changed crossarms and finally fixed the lean on these poles, although there are no brace poles or new guy wires. Many of the old insulators were reused on the new arms
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.
