Shine on

.

A hat tip (or hardhat tip) to the brave linemen who keep our street lamps working. 

Note the yellow sign (they are on all the lamp posts in my village) which warns "HIGH TENSION. DANGER OF DEATH!"

A post for City Daily Photo Theme Day--Street Lamps.

  6. He is brave indeed. I wonder why they didn't put the wires for the street lamps in the ground instead?

  7. How often we take light from the street lamps for granted without giving a thought to the work required to keep them shining!!
