Was flying my Hubsan Zino drone near the intersection of N. Maple Ave. and Yale Ave. in Fresno CA. USA on the afternoon of 02-15-20 and saw this interesting high-tension tower. So I figured that since I had my drone in the air nearby, I thought that I'd go ahead and pop off a photograph or two. :-)

In this photograph, I positioned the drone above the tower and tilted the camera (along its Y-axis) to get this shot.

Note the huge porcelain post-type insulators instead of the suspensions that you would frequently find holding the HV lines.
