untitled utility pole and cables

Posted by danthro (Suburbia, United States) on 14 April 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.

i was going to title it untitled power lines, but then i realized i wasn't sure if these are for phone lines or power lines...

sorry i'm not able to catch up on everyone's blogs as i'd like to, focusing on other pursuits more now.

Comments, feedback, criticism, suggestions, etc. are always appreciated. Thanks!

I love the way you've captured the sunlight on the metal thingies, it looks fabulous against the blue sky.

Power lines I would think looking at those isolators . . I’ve often looked up at stuff like that and imagined a whole photoblog on the subject! There’s an intriguing awkwardness in having all that technology up there on a wooden pole, too.

Power lines. This structure is called a "double dead end." The voltage between wires --from any one wire to any other wire-- is probably about 12,500 volts; and the voltage from any one wire to ground is probably about 7,200 volts.

Nice image, I like the light quality, the colours and the close crop.

How come your images are always called 'untitled' but have a title immediately following? Am I missing a joke there?

@drphoto: thanks!

no, no joke. they're untitled because i can't think of good titles, but i follow it by a description of what's in the photo for the purposes of not giving every single image the same (un)title. although occasionally there is a double meaning, like with the one called 'untitled human remains.' good question!
