hope you are the one who puts them out and not starts them .-- or maybe a newspaper photographer

I put them out...

I guess in the role you are a volunteer fireman. Good on you.

(fortunately) a rare shot!

You're an arsonist?

fear..fine photo

Kudo's to you, I have allot of respect!

Leveling the horizon (the fence) would greatly improve this entry.

Nice!

Funny! I don't know there, but here in Brazil a candidate can register a nickname for the elections, if he is know by it.

Superman into Politics..? huh..?! I always knew he would follow Lex Luthor..
hehe.. nice shot..

cool capture..........I have one like that near where I live, but I cannot get that close, the soldiers won't let me.....

My job was working on towers and poles.
I got to the top of this one many times.
Thank you for your comments

Nice capture...... but this doesn't look like a power pole. Those lines look more like stay lines for support. This looks more like a radio/comm tower type. Am I wrong author? Kinda off theme?

"Some tower hundreds of feet while others are just your local telephone line. In Authors description."
I say this is not off-topic, those are guy wires and there is plenty of power running up this tower. IMO thanks for the comments

Not trying to start an argument... but the power is going TO the pole for the pole... not for distribution. I think the author's suggestion meant the size of the pole... not an actual telephone pole. Mods problem... not mine. Nice pic though.

Then why are you commenting? The power is coming from a pole directly and attached to this tower. Your interpretation is yours and I will not argue that you think off theme. BTW most of the entries are utility poles, a few transmission lines, distribution and secondary.
I did this ' lineman' for most of my adult life so I have a different understanding of power, communication, CATV, microwave infrastructures. The power is not to the pole for the pole it is for the people. All these things are on the poles towers ect. Some of these entries are telephone lines only. Can you tell the difference? Or which ones are fiber optics or power only or joint usage utility poles or telegraph with the top 2 wires power.
Enough said if the Mods think off theme then remove it.

@ captgeo, from the comment guidelines : " 3.7: Don't comment on 'administrative' issues of the entry (such as being off-topic for example), but raise a red flag instead. "
it seems to be on topic for me

seems to me as if we are all getting a bit overly picky on entries. to me, this is exactly what the contest is asking for, even if its not technically "supplying" power...it is EXACTLY what the contest conditions describe.

Than you all for your comments

This image sucks, everybody should vote really really low on it!

LOL.... does it "suck" like yours? I can only hope.

You are kidding i hope LOL.

Totally kidding! This is FREAKING AWESOME! Although I will give $50 to whatever mod can come up with a reason why this needs to be removed

LOL... i figured... thanks for the compliment. The idea hit me during a training class. Watching the instructor walk back and forth in front of the projector screen. We can't photoshop so made my own "layers". LOL!!!!

I love it when ideas come out of nowhere, although I will say this... Real men use Real fire for their shots

LOL.... I hear ya.... i got pics of me deep in real fire.... been in more than fires than i care to remember... but hey... this was a "self-portrait" contest.

And people on here call ME crazy! I use small controlled flames, you on the other hand run headlong into infernos! Mad respect there my friend

I don't see any reason at all for this to be removed, it is brilliant......and just perfectly framed..............(:bow2)

wow! this was done with a projector?! Great idea.

nicely done...from one firefighter to another, keep up the great work.

you & the photo are amazing!

just out of this world! good luck!

Spectacular! i'm lovin this one! soooo dramatic

Excellent entry!

I actually believed you were in the fire! And I don't think that makes any difference anyways. It would probably turn out the same way. :P

$50 for a reason to have it removed?!! Um... er... I know! If it was a projection on a screen, then the screen must have come from a shop. It's a photo. So, therefore, it's "Photoshopped!" Contact me and I'll give the address to send my $50! (great shot, by the way)
