An insulator, with a copper wire bound to it in the manner that power lines are traditionally attached to insulators.

Provo Canyon, Utah County, Utah

Pat's photography rules :

1. embrace the power line.

2. If you love sunsets, shoot sunsets ( ignore sunset haters )

3. being Explored is nice but if you want followers and like comments then you must reciprocate.

4. Just because you've never been Explored doesn't mean you're a shitty photographer.

5. Always take the shot.

6. The end result is not what photography is all about, its the process that I enjoy, the seeing, the hunt, the capture.

7. your everyday life may not be interesting to you but I find that those are the images I enjoy the most, but I might be abnormally curious :)

8. If you avoid taking your camera because it is too heavy, get a smaller camera, I recommend a Ricoh GRII.

9. Invest in spare batteries, keep them charged up and don't forget them in the car ( like I often do, grrr :)

10. Images improve with age, so if you don't like what you've taken, just ignore them for a few weeks, months, even years and when you revisit them you'll be shocked at how good they look :)

Hooks were used to added the top wire.

Haven't been doing much photography lately due to busy-ness and the cold PA weather this time of year.

Some powerlines I found just outside of my hotel on a recent business trip to Dallas, Texas. For telegraph tuesdays.

A pair of shoes hanging from the wires (shoe tossing). I don't know what the point of this is (besides doing it for fun) - maybe you have an idea?

One of these days I'll get this properly captured.

132 kV Powerlines near Channel Island, Northern Territory, Australia

This northern (?) shrike was a little out of its normal range when found at the Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve. It sat on the powerline, rather oblivious to my getting closer for a better shot. Through research, I found out that these seemingly innocuous looking songbirds are serious hunters with other birds, mice and lizards as standard prey. They sit in high branches, powerlines and other perches, scanning for their next meal. They have a rather ominous nickname of “butcherbird” for the nasty habit of impaling their prey on thorns and barbed wire.

Thanks for your views, faves and comments!

I have added this to some yellow groups, but my color vision is very weak in that area - so forgive me if this doesn't have enough yellow.

Rainy days can be inspiring. :]

A powerful electric storm passed through kent a couple of nights ago. This was shot toward the tail end of it, as it passed overhead and out to sea.

Last photo at the end of a satisfying walk.
