Skywatch Friday – Crossed Signals

01_00A

I’m always amazed at not just our skies overhead but how much wires, cables, signs, signals and other stuff we have overhead all over the place. As a pipeline engineer I can tell you that there are probably just as many wires and cables as well as pipelines carrying natural gas, fresh water, sewage, storm-water under our feet.

On one level it is all just visual pollution, on another it gives me a feeling of the net of connectiveness between all of us on this planet. If I had your phone number I could probably call you right now as you are reading this.

Would you pick up?

    It would be great if we could put them all underground with the pipes but that is probably not practical. It might save money in the long run, though as underground is not as susceptible to damage.

    I find it most odd to see so many wires overhead. Here we have so few – the majority being underground. If you want my number, I’ll give it with pleasure.

    That is a lot of wires and signals all in one place but they sure made an interesting picture. Where the lines cross makes me think of peanut butter cookies. 🙂
