in the same feild as those shadows, nearby my house.

Double circuit transmission line and 3 short poles making a tap.

These were built three years ago. Since Katrina a lot of New Orleans' wealthier citizens have been moving to the other side of Lake Ponchatrain into this area. Because of this Cleco and Entergy have been building tons of new poles like this to new substations.

Not far from my house. These go for miles.

Powerline trail (short cut) to Mt Kathleen, BC.

Check out what Cecil Adams has to say about this.

In a nutshell, he says it's "either a harmless prank, a rite of passage, or a sign of the end of civilization".

can't stop taking pictures of these. guess i like the graphic nature of them, lines and shapes and all.

special request

Give me powerline-thru-streetpalm.

These powerlines are really cool, and I pass them on the way to work everyday. i dont think this comp does them justice, they look much huger in real life. maybe ill hike back down the hill and shoot them again. hmmm.

Continuing with the Thursday song titles, here's the second in my set of recent long-exposure shots.

Two shots of powerlines, one through leadlight glass.

A simple cloudless sunset, but the towers and lines give some depth to the scene.

With the lovely new Plutonic high-voltage power lines adding a nice Japanese touch to the scenery. (It's almost impossible to get somewhere in Japan where you can't see any power lines)
