These are the same lines but in the other direction, on their way to the power plant in Eunice. The poles are old but the old pole serving as a crossarm was replaced with that metal one.

This is a 7 mile long line with lots of lightening arresters as well as a guard wire at the top. I guess lightening is a problem in this area. It is a wide open plain.

These are some of the newer Slemco poles outside of Scott, LA. These poles were changed just to add the line at the top.

Huge cultipacker made for removing small trees growing under the high-voltage powerlines to avoid energy loss by lowering the capacity between the wires and the ground. I think, it was built from road roller drum by welding spiral ridges to it. Diameter of the drum is ~2 meters.

In a very Vancouver kind of turn of events, I shot this phot the same day as this one.

Notice the different insulators on the left than the two on the right.

Yes I am obsessed with power lines

Coventry Court where it meets Cresta Vista Drive, San Francisco; Mount San Bruno, with its array of broadcast towers, is about five miles away.

Unfortunately my friends's 48 was a tad dusty

This isn't a camera trick, it is definitly leaning this much

Entergy built a regulator station, capacitor bank, and recloser on three concecutive poles.

One was to power the truck stop and the other two are for the circuit to under the interstate instead of around the exit.

Power lines

Concrete pole. Concrete poles are ussually only for 69kv on up. It seems like some money was shelled out for the new parkway because Entergy crosses with either steel or concrete poles and Slemco's are either steel poles or the lines go under the road.

Newer pole

These were recently upgraded. This one still feeds into the old pole.

Powerlines cross this valley to supply power to one other most populated urban areas in Portugal.

Judging from the insulator at the top, I'd guess that Slemco once had a circuit running this way.
