"The Power Line Site"
Closed
Due to the frequent e-mails from the electric industry, telling me to remove their pictures of power poles and towers from my site, citing "security" reasons, I am closing my power line site, effective 5/16/2003, and will remain closed until the "security" atmosphere makes such postings on the web legal again.
If you have any pictures you like to contribute, please send them here (remove the parentheses around the "@" first), but keep in mind that they will not be posted publicly.
Towerspotting is not a crime, but these days, it seems like it.
As long as they're still up, please continue visiting these sites:
