01-09-08 – Utility Poles

posting it here doesn’t disqualify it from entering?

not at all.
Just, if I were to post something cool, other people might be inspired to make something better as well.

Are these too much like pylons, do you think?

SLEEPING: In my opinion, they’re all power POLES… not towers.

I wish I could use this one… 🙁

I have some very similar ones that I am using… but on my honesty, I can’t use the one I want. >:I

I just had a thought. I could submit a photo of my mother-in-law. She’s Polish and really likes to clean when she comes for a visit = Utility Pole. Not gonna though.

I had way more fun with this contest than I thought I would. I mean, c’mon, they’re utility poles. However, they’re also all over the place and I found myself looking for ‘good ones’ over the past two weeks while driving. It will be fun to see what we get tonight and tomorrow.

also, this photo: no good because there’s a light on it?

Thanks for the clarification.

This is a pretty narrow field, but I can work within that.

It might be worth explicitly pointing out in the first post of the thread that bridge abutments, pilings, interstate sign poles, etc, are excluded.

And honestly not to pick details, but would a pole with a light such as above where the light was non-functional or otherwise turned off be accepted? Or a cropped version of the above pole where the light was out of frame?
