People think utility poles are made from trees. Not so. They start as trees but genetic modification causes them to grow into utility poles.
That can at the top is how they feed the poles since the roots disappear as fast as the branches do.
This is the first pole farm I've seen. They're vary hard to spot because the poles are harvested so soon after maturity. You can see the younger poles around this one. They still look like trees.
Very clever, those pole farmers.

Carly Fiorina (born Cara Carleton Sneed; September 6, 1954) is a former business executive who is actively seeking the Republican Party's nomination for President of the United States. Starting in 1980, Fiorina rose through the ranks to become an executive at AT&T and its equipment and technology spinoff, Lucent. As chief executive officer of Hewlett-Packard (HP) from 1999 to 2005, she was the first woman to lead one of the top twenty U.S. companies.
In 2002, Fiorina pushed through the biggest high-tech merger in history with rival computer company Compaq, which made HP the world's largest personal computer manufacturer. HP gained market share following the merger and subsequently laid off 30,000 of its American workers. Fiorina famously said to Congress in 2004: "There is no job that is America's God-given right anymore. We have to compete for jobs as a nation." By the end of 2005, the merged company had more employees worldwide than they had separately before the merger.
On February 9, 2005, in the wake of the controversial Compaq merger, and following a 65% drop in the HP stock price, Fiorina was forced to resign as chief executive officer and chairman of Hewlett-Packard in what she described as being "fired in a boardroom brawl". Since then, she has served on the boards of a number of other organizations.
Assessments of Fiorina's business career have varied. During her time at Lucent and Hewlett-Packard she was named by Fortune Magazine the most powerful woman in business. However, two days before her ousting from HP, Fortune described her merger plan as "failing" and the prognosis as "doubtful". She has been described as one of the worst tech CEOs of all time, though others have defended her leadership decisions and business reputation.
Fiorina served as an advisor to Republican John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign. She won a three-way race for the Republican nomination for the United States Senate from California in 2010, but lost the general election to incumbent Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer. On May 4, 2015, Fiorina announced on Good Morning America that she is running for President of the United States in 2016.

This must have seemed the height of modernity in Loughton when these rather clunky columns went up with the new GEC mercury lighting - a shot taken on the main road.

This Utility Box was painted by my friend Leoangelo Reyes.
~ Leoangelo is an aspiring artist that runs on 95% natural talent and 5% black coffee. With free-flowing ability and the lack of barricades to obstruct his imagination, Leo can accurately depict almost anything -- manifested by man or mind -- through various means; be it oil, acrylic, graphite, charcoal, chalk, pastel, spray paint, or house paint. Eager to make new friends, Leo prefers to produce his pieces outdoors, with the wandering eyes of passersby upon him. He manages to take something from every person, place, or thing he encounters and translates these findings into works of arts worthy of admiration. His style of preference is realism (able to illustrate techniques such as reflective, glass, still life), sometimes full on fantasy or romanticism, and he is open minded about contemporary and design. Leo is also very versatile when it comes to content/subject, style, and even medium. His kind heart, mind, and soul -- all prevalent in his work -- make him not only an artist to applaud, but a human to envy.

Such utility tricars have been produced with aim on small tradesmen, who couldn´t afford or didn´t need regular cars. Parts of production cars have been used, a single cylinder 5 kW engine drove it. Small traders in large cities and post offices used it, but the production was limited and only 200 have been made, today it´s a pretty rare sight and a very interesting ride experience.
A vast improvement on the previous Matchbox Ford Explorer based Interceptor which looked just a bit too clumsy for its own good, the latest 2016 Interceptor Utility at least now looks far better cast and far more believable and accurate in its styling.
Its oversized front Bull Bars and cheaply integrated roof lights still irk many collectors but thats the reality of the modern cost conscious Matchbox and at the end of the day its far more preferable to an overt generic. Part of 2019 Case R sourced recently from the U.S. Mint and boxed.
I took this in my neighborhood of Mira Mesa Art which is painted on the electrical boxes. All of the boxes are painted by local artist that are trying to beautify our neighborhood. The artist are all from different backgrounds, are at different skill levels and are using different styles of painting.
Davis, Starlight, SF, BART, Commutes, San Jose, 12 Feb 1974
Lincoln's Birthday was school holiday in 1974, and a friend and I took advantage of the day off to take a trip to San Francisco.
BART has recently started running and we wanted to have a first ride on BART, and we also wanted to record the SP's commute operations at Third and Townsend Street station, which was in its last year or so of operation before being replaced by the station at 4th Street that Caltrain still uses. Fairbanks-Morse power was also in its last year or so on Southern Pacific and we wanted a ride behind a big H-24-66.
So, before dawn, we were at the Davis station waiting for #11 to come down the West Valley line. (For Amtrak's first 10 years or so, the Coast Starlight turned north at Davis, bypassing Sacramento and Chico, but saving an hour or so on its Oakland-Oregon schedule. This was in keeping with SP's practice from the days when their trains were seen as through Oakland-Oregon services and Sacramento passenges could connect at Davis by local train, bus or car.) The Davis arrival and departure board still showed the train as the Cascade, but had changed the northbound number to 14 instead of the Cascade's 12.
We must taken the Starlight to Oakland and the connecting bus to San Francisco as the BART transbay tube did not open for passengers until later in 1974. We seem to have ridden BART from Montgomery Street to Daly City and back. We then walked down 3rd Street to the SP station.
SP's 3rd and Townsend Street station was completed in time for the 1915 Pan-Pacific Exposition and was intended to be a temporary facility. Temporary wound up being 60 years. By 1974, it was showing its age and the fact that SP had lost interest in passenger service earlier than most western railroads. Amtrak had moved the last intercity passenger train that served San Francisco, the Coast Daylight, over to Oakland and combined it with SP's Cascade and a BN pool train to create the Seattle-LA Coast Starlight, leaving 3rd and Townsend a commuter only station. Ridership on the commutes was stagnant, SP was losing money and not inclined to spend more on a money losing operation, but the state Public Utilities Commission would not allow SP to cancel the service.
As 3rd and Townsend was past its "best before" date, plans had been made to build a new station a block south at 4th Street and the new interlocking tower for the new station had been built. Construction would soon start on 4th St. station and when it was ready, 3rd and Townsend would be demolished. Today you could stand where I did to shoot these photos and not recognize anything except for some of the track looking south photos.
The weather was rainy part of the day, but cleared toward afternoon. We wandered around the station area, shooting arrivals and departures during the day and the commute parade lining up for departure. We shot some commutes departing, then boarded one, led by F-M 3022, that would get us into San Jose in time to catch the Coast Starlight back to Davis.
I got a few shots at San Jose, then must have decided that shots of the Starlight would not be worth it as it arrived well after dark.
The was the first of quite a few around the bay trips I've taken by train over the years, sometimes going and coming on the Starlight, these days, more likely on the Capitol Corridor. Pretty much everything has changed as far as trains and equipment, other than the original BART cars still soldiering on. The Capitol Corridor was undreamed of in 1974, and it would be 11 years before Caltrain would replace the SP equipment on the commutes.
