When we moved here I began admiring these lines in the late afternoon during walks with Belle. I want to capture them one day glowing orange in the late, low afternoon sun. This wasn't the day, but I'm beginning to come closer. This particular shot reminds me of some of my recent light-illuminated spider webs.

Supporting the helicopter running the lines from tower to tower.

Dynamically generated utility poles with randomly generated powerlines. Initial study for a project Id like to flesh out to include a large variety of poles, consistent wire creation that spans several nodes, the occasional flock of lazy birds, and audio responsiveness.

Test video to come soon.

Very common on Entergy poles

Can you guess which direction the wind was blowing during the last hurricane.

Powerlines, Taken with Samsung Galaxy...

This is one of those set ups where the regulators are set up on three consecutive poles.

PowerLine Series

Taken with my Panasonic GF1 with a Pentax-M 50mm f/1.7 lens, using an adapter from fotodiox.

These old LP&L poles (now Entergy) have been out of use for years. They run into the swamps of Southeastern LA. With no maintenance these were easily damaged during Hurricane Gustav last year.

Powerline, Peary Street, Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia

These were all built with very thick single crossarms for deadends.

No wind at all. Even the stars are reflected in the water.

See where this picture was taken. [?]

Half-assed award nominee. This is a powerline that would be laying across the road outside my parent's neighborhood, if not for the length of PVC pipe.

These are both Cleco's lines. The distribution lines in the foreground used to belong to a small cooperative called Teche Coop. Cleco bought them out in the 90's.

Metal LUS poles with metal cross arms.

10000 block of Aurora Avenue N, Seattle WA

The area under this powerline right of way is part of the Lorance Creek Natural Area. It is regularly cleared of trees and other tall woody vegetation, allowing prairie and open area species to flourish.

There is a constant low crackle and hum under the powerline. You stop hearing it after a few minutes.

Black and white is hard to get away from during the winter time. To me, winter IS the epitome of "Black and White"....

This is one of my favorite subjects to photograph. This is what I'm going to school for. Power. More specifically solar energy.

I finally bought some B&W film to use in Robert's old Minolta SLR camera. I cannot wait to use it and see what I get out of it :) :) :)
