“Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.”

The evening sun sets these Art Nouveau curves of the Moskovits Palace (1905) ablaze, turning the teal facade into a burning relic against the encroaching shadow. Beside it, the white walls of the Apollo Palace (1914) remain caught in that same low-slung fire, their surfaces cooling as the light sinks.
Across the sky, a web of black wires pulls tight, stitching the facades together with harsh angles. They cut through the ornate stucco, tethering the century-old floral designs to a modern, humming grid. As the glow eventually fades, only these wires remain to hold the architecture in place against the dark, awaiting for the current to carry the day into night. ️

Many older neighborhoods still have secondary racks with spool insulators. This is a junction pole with them in Georgetown in Evesham built in the mid 1950s. Around 1960 secondary wires began to be twisted into a cable. The service drop lines here were replaced with twisted cables branching off on the left. Primary line Pole-top pin and insulator, suspension insulator for dead end. The street lights were replaced in this area a couple years ago with this type of fixture.
