    The first thing that caught my eye was the old glass insulators. I have a few of those sitting on a windowsill.

    It is very old and not in use. They always look sad to me.
    Neat capture. MB

    I like this picture! I especially like the glass insulators and the tree (vine) reaching up to the crossbar. Very well done!

    Very original angle! It works extremely well, though - and I love the fact that it's disused and falling apart. What is it about decay that's so photogenic?

    This takes me back to my childhood and the train lines behind our home... You captured it so well.

    nice picture, it reminds me of when I was a kid. My dad was the definition of recycle. We spent a summer collecting cross arms and my dad built a fence around our yard with them.

    Beautiful composition, it's a pity that it's abandoned.

    Lovely, E.G.

    You know what the bird said who landed on an uninsulated wire on that very pole:

    "Yikes! I got a charge out of that!"

    Excellant shot EG.
    Gary and I collected telegraph insulators for years. At one time we had 100's of them, and we have a nice collection now.

    Wow! Very interesting - it doesn't look like it is functional now a days. Fascinating - reminds me of the posts of my childhood.

    Great shot! I am surprised that all the bits and pieces are still there when the pole is no longer in use!
