Local Power Distribution

Today we've got a couple of images of a very busy looking local distribution tower. Notice the ubiquitous wooden pole, but also make not of all that is going on atop the pole. Also, you can see another classic structural feature, the supporting guid wires going down to ground level.



What is perhaps most unique about this example though is that it represents a transfer point between above and below ground power lines... or at least that's what I surmise. You'll notice that power wires are only going in one direction from this pole, and also that there is a prominent grey piping down the side of the pole, from which emenate four wires.
