I don't know where many of the following electric power line towers are located because I never labeled the original photographs.  Their location did not interest me as much as their varied designs did.  I had never realized how many different styles there were until I actually began looking at them.  Of course, I then had to record my observations.  If you know of a type or style that I have missed, send me a picture of it and a note about its location.  I will be glad to incorporate it into this site (and give you full credit for the contribution).

A "slingshot" tower in New York.	I can tell this is Ohio because of the route sign.	The location of this impressive tower is a mystery to me.

These photos have all been cropped and enhanced to make them look as good as they do.  It is tough to aim the camera and give it time to auto-focus with one hand as I steer the big truck down the highway with the other hand trying not to run over anybody.  I have missed many potentially good pictures because conditions were too unsafe to try for them.

Triple towers in Ontario braced on the right to allow for a sharp left turn of the power lines.	Here is a double-pronged tower somewhere in Ohio.	Bob from Philadelphia tells me that this tower is located beside the Schuylkill Expressway, I.76, about 8 miles from downtown Philly.

I have received many e-mails from visitors to this site telling me I had labeled a bridge incorrectly or that a particular water tower was located somewhere other than where I had said, or telling me where something was if I wasn't sure.  That's fine.  I then make appropriate changes on the web pages.  Some people have written to me to tell me that they had worked on or helped construct a particular bridge or tower featured on this site.  That's good, too.  I enjoy learning more about the things I have seen.

Simple wooden pole tower in West Virginia.	I don't know where this tower is located, but it is a fairly common design.
