Behold! Majestic poles!

For some reason, I am compelled to take pictures of telephone poles and powerlines. My dream is to assemble and entire wall of telephone poles and powerlines in different landscapes, lighting, and general weather conditions. Who here among you would not delight in seeing hundreds of pictures of poles and lines? I dare say not a one of you could resist. It is man's drive to build lines and poles that compels us, moves us inexorably forward toward some line-filled, pole-hoisted future perfect, where puppies and kittens rise like helium balloons, silhouetted against the sky with the poles and line they have befriended. Just like in this picture, which I took (while driving, no less. Risky? I dare say so, but surely a good picture of powerlines is worth it!)
Um...the bottom line (line, heh) is that I haven't posted in awhile, and have nothing interesting to say, so I share now this strange and secret hobby: pictures of electric lines. Man.

hey, hey, many years ago i spent a summer (i think the one after my first year at UT) driving around taking pictures of pylons, power stations, and radio towers. that was when i got my first camera, maybe. i think we have a photo album somewhere full of those pictures...
I think I have seen at least one picture of you in front of a radio tower, if not more than one. Wha-hoo! Maybe I can find a texas radio tower and take a picture of it for you.
CHOMP!
CHOMP!
As an internationally unrecognized art critic, I can sense the pain embued in that photo. It reminds me of war-torn Germany, with scores apon scores of cloud-shaped B-52 bombers sailing overhead in hopes to level the townsfolk to dust.
I think the power line thing comes from liking anime. That or its a personal problem, like some sort of skin infection.
