Just tested "remove power lines" in Luminar Neo - I hope you don't mind. Great photo (yours)


Yes, it does look better. He is as he says a retired Navy guy, a retired Marine would have removed the wires

OK , you got me. NWC China Lake encompasses 1million + acres of real estate with multiple test sites and laboratories that consume massive amounts of power. Rumor has it there is a hangar/storage facility that has been dug into the side of one of the larger hills with lots of razor wire topped fencing and signage establishing that it is a restricted area indicating lethal force is authorized to repel intruders. The standard answer when questioned about the existence of said facility is met with a blank stare and "I have no idea of what you are asking about."
Dannj, is that better? Cliff

Definitely a good use of leading lines to those mountains in the distance.

Those spans between poles look awfully short for no more wire load than they are carrying. But I never designed open wire pole lines in my career, just cable on steel messenger. Since this is in the mountains, I suppose the ice load could really add up.

Stan, ice and snow are not the problem here, Gale force winds and earthquakes are the big issue. July 2019 we had the 6.9 and a few days later the BIG ONE 7.4 which did considerable damage on the Navy Base, several billion dollars for repair and replacement of major facilities. Thanks for looking!! Cliff
