I have uploaed some photos that I took today in Connecticut. Many of them feature old poles that have been in my photostream for some time, but recent changes from EVERSOURCE Energy are evident in many of them.

    TRM 4.16kV - Brewton, AL

Thanks! I'm gonna try. I won't have too much time for big line safaris this month of June (got some work to do on my car to get it in shape for the winter), but I've got nice long backlog of pictures to upload that should keep us all busy for a while.
