Electrical Installations

I stumbled across this somewhat surreal scene in Downtown LA. I think it was some kind of training exercise.
Puddled Pole. HTT!
There is a poorly graded spot on a street near my home, where there is always a puddle for a few days after any rain. Today, I looked into it from a different direction from usual.
I captured this scene from an overpass near Bologna Centrale station, across from the signal house with its steel framework spanning the tracks. In the center of the structure a large clock was mounted, clearly visible above the converging rails and electrical lines.
The design of the signal house itself stood out to me, its elevated form and intricate framework contrasting with the dense infrastructure of tracks, wiring, and surrounding urban buildings.

10/05/2025 - String Rope Wire Cable
A few ideas rumbled around for this week's challenge , but then filling up the windscreen washer bottle the idea of the loom hit me and here is an exposed junction .
A cable harness, also known as a wire harness, wiring harness, cable assembly, wiring assembly or wiring loom, is an assembly of electrical cables or wires which transmit signals or electrical power. The cables are bound together by a durable material such as rubber, vinyl, electrical tape, conduit, a weave of extruded string, or a combination thereof.
Commonly used in automobiles, as well as construction machinery, cable harnesses provide several advantages over loose wires and cables. For example, many aircraft, automobiles and spacecraft contain many masses of wires which would stretch over several kilometers if fully extended. By binding the many wires and cables into a cable harness, the wires and cables can be better secured against the adverse effects of vibrations, abrasions, and moisture. By constricting the wires into a non-flexing bundle, usage of space is optimized, and the risk of a short is decreased. Since the installer has only one harness to install (as opposed to multiple wires), installation time is decreased and the process can be easily standardized. Binding the wires into a flame retardant sleeve also lowers the risk of electrical fires.
An obvious track this week from Acadaca ---
run across the broken conduit line that is the plug in for lights in the Honor Heights Park, looks like a dark few days around these trees.
Hops are the female flowers of the hop species H. lupulus; as a main flavor ingredient in beer, H. lupulus is widely cultivated for use by the brewing industry.
Hop shoots grow very rapidly, and at the peak of growth can grow 20 to 50 centimetres per week. Hop bines climb by wrapping clockwise around anything within reach, and individual bines typically grow between 2 to 15 metres depending on what is available to grow on. When the hop bines run out of material to climb, horizontal shoots sprout between the leaves of the main stem to form a network of stems wound round each other.
Hop gardens consist of a regular arrangement of poles interconnected by wires. Every spring, the farmers add vertical wire ropes that are used by the hop plants for climbing. Here you can see how this is done with the help of three persons in a turret.

I am not done with my favorite abandoned house yet! Next project is a night shooting there with my flickr buddy Rajesh! Please check his stream, he has cool shots of this house too.
For the little history, this house was first built in 1854, and was known as "Tyersall House". In 1860, a Malay sultan took over the property and the house was demolished. The new house, Istana Woodneuk ("istana" means "palace" in Malay) was built in 1890 and completed 2 years later. In 1905, it was badly burnt because of faulty electrical wiring. This house has been abandoned since 1907.
Please check the whole Tyersall House Set.

Small copper wires wrapped around the cone that used to be on the back of an old tube television. :-)
I saw this as a possible series from the salvage yard -- the stripped away wiring from the old rusty doors. I tought this was pretty "different" and photo worthy.

Fresh from EMD, CP 7055 is being set up for service at St. Paul, MN, after being delivered the previous afternoon.
How anything electrical works in many parts of India defies logic. Complex entanglements of electrical wires hanging somehow on the utility poles in many of the areas I saw seemed to be the norm. How any of this works is anybody's guess. Tragically, there are over 10,000 electrocution deaths in India every year. (www.counterview.net/2017/09/electrocution-in-india-kills-...)
I could never fathom the wondrous wiring I saw in Chinese streets, as I'd never seen the like in any other country up until that time. Consequently I took any number of photos, and made movies following the maze of wires I saw beside the roads I travelled. Now that I've travelled further afield, I know this chaotic system of wiring is quite common across second and third world countries.
