I talked about the Towers of Power the other day in my Photo of the Day (POTD) but I took so many photos, I couldn't just stop there. It's unusual to have two different tower types running side by side. From my experience if there are two towers they are usually the same shape with a little variation, but these are very different. I bet they were constructed many years apart - but that's just a guess.
My favorite towers are the ones that look like people with their arms holding onto the lines. I could probably imagine this as being a person, but there's no singular top that I could pretend to be his head. He's got a lot of arms, though. I could use this guy to help me clean the house!
Weathered numbers. A favorite find of mine! I might have to come back with a zoom lens to get a larger shot.
I am thinking that the nest on top of this tower is an Osprey nest. I am not very familiar with Osprey but I do know they build rather large nests very high up. That's not a lot of fact for this particular observation, but I'm just going to go with it!
I like the shapes and lines in this photo.
Can you imagine climbing up the side of this by stopping on those bolts? I think I'd probably hyperventilate after just a step or two.
I'd never make a very good daredevil.
Debby, from Just Breathe, asked if I heard any noise from these. I've very aware of the buzzing sound that power lines can make, but these were surprisingly silent.
Have a great day!

I have a friend whose friend is a lineman. He makes repairs and hangs wires just like these. He was recently in California but travels everywhere.
And the bird nest, my favorite! I was thinking Eagle or Hawk.
I also was thinking maybe an eagle. Power lines are one of those necessary things that are OK in some other's backyard. I would not want to live any where they could come down during a storm.
They are all great pictures but I especially like the fifth one. When I was visiting my father I noticed lots of high nests like that. Actually in several area they put a big disks out on top for them to build on.
