Find a feature

Possum Hill Road

I have to admit I love telephone poles. I'm not even sure they're telephone poles: maybe they're wooden power poles, or utility poles. But I love the way they look against a flat horizon,  underneath the vanishing night sky. They are actually features that pierce the landscape, and in the plains, make the scenery more interesting for photographers. Also, at night, when it's cold and windy, the lines literally hum, suspended between the poles. What makes those lines vibrate? Is it wind? Electricity? Conversations?
