He/she must have been okay with this. Many mornings, there are one or two vultures on this pole (and dozens on other poles) but rarely do they lie down like this one.

You are right. I doubt the electric company expected this when they installed this pole.

Zeer interessante opname,Ronald.
Op 30 cm van de paal word de doorsnede van de kabel plotseling de helft van de doorsnede.
Ik zou dit zeker doorgeven aan de electric company!
Hartelijke groeten.............Frans.

Thank you, Frans. The top wire is to intercept lightning. I think they make it thicker at the pole because the stress is greater there.

Well, I guess vultures care nothing about amenities.
Great shot!
