In the United Kingdom, much of the rural electricity distribution system is carried on wooden poles. Dead-end and other poles that support lateral loads have guy-wires to support them. The guys always have strain insulators inserted in their length to prevent any high voltages caused by electrical faults from reaching the lower portion of the cable that is accessible by the public. In populated areas, guy wires are often encased in a yellow plastic or wood tube reflector attached to their lower end, so that they can be seen more easily. Nikon D700 + AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D lens.
