My only annoyance is the lines from the back window are in the picture... (5 years and 3559 days ago)

Power lines are visible but not really the main focus, but that's just IMO. Try bumping u the color saturation a little. It would improve this shot. GL!

Nice tower (5 years and 3561 days ago)
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

You shouldn't have cropped the top off.
I really didn't crop the top off, just composed the pic a bit off. Seems I did it with all I did that day and this was the best of all of them. I decided at the last minute to enter this even with the prob, didn't have time to reshoot it.

Nice picture.. My view is that Poles are not in main focus...
I was thinking about cropping it so you'd really only see them, But I reeeeally liked those clouds too so I just left it.
Poles, wires and sky are main focus but being that the lines are not so focused it seems to affect the whole shot. also level your horizon. It would improve the shot. GL!
Thank you jaws (:
