Fun fact:
"Did you know that Hamish Marshall, former #Conservative leader Andrew Scheer's campaign manager, was director of public affairs at #AngusReid Public Opinion.
Mr. Marshall also a board member for The Rebel, the far-right propaganda outlet helmed by Ezra Levant. Mr. Levant & current Con leader Mr. #Poilievre have been friends for over 20 years.
Marshall was also involved in campaigns for Wildrose Party in #Alberta. Same party Tamara Lich belonged to.

Funny little connection eh?"

"Former developers from Bethesda, BioWare, and Naughty Dog bring you a sandbox RPG realm of anthropomorphic animals and fairy creatures."

That has some promise. Interesting to see where it goes.

Captured with a DSLR and 24mm shifting lens (vertically shifted just a bit) on a hot day in the Mojave desert.

This is a simple composition, characteristic of the early 20th century Precisionist school. There's little in the frame that isn't essential. The pylons, wires, and tracks all converge at a vanishing point at the edge of the frame, suggesting, but not showing, a more expansive network of wires, tracks, and, for better or worse, human dominance over nature.

Telegraph poles with multiple "code lines" were once a common feature along American railroads. They are distinguishable from ordinary power or telephone lines by their multitude of cables, often occupying several crossarms. The wires typically include a power bus plus separate leads for the signals along the route, with various more efficient encodings used as technology improved.

They've been mostly supplanted by more modern SCADA systems that don't require so many individual wires.
