Friday My Town Shoot Out: POWER

August 7th assingment is suggested by J9 (http://j9stuff.blogspot.com/) and it's “Power - where do you get your power? Is it electric, hydroelectric, solar, wind, natural gas? The things that power our towns or it could be things that empower you personally, or places to go to regroup, regenerate your own personal power.”





Mobile generator which provides electricity for outdoor use, in this case there was a food festival near my place.
The power box just outside my apartment, not only providing electricity to my home but also measuring how much is used so the Electric Company can billed me at the end of every month.
Now, when we see these electricity towers around, we know for sure we're not in Singapore because all our cables run underground! This is taken during a drive to our neighbour Malaysia.

That's an interesting meter reader. I have never seen one like that. Nice photos.

Too bad we are tied to the electric companies in one way of the other. Those power lines could be anywhere in the U.S.

I have never seen a mobile generator like that.

Great shots. Have a good weekend.

Love the generator shot, I have a generator too, but didn't get it out to shot it, though it crossed my mind. I wish our lines were all underground!

It's so neat to see how different the little things look in various parts of the world. I really like your shot of the power lines - it's an interesting perspective.

The generator was very different, I've not seen one of those before.

I love the area I live in because all wires and cables run underground. Enjoyed your submission.

I love it when they run the cables underground. They're just so messy.

I love seeing equipment used in other countries to compare to what we have. Love the pump with the blue color...love colors too!

I really like the last shot!

I like the power line shot. We have a generator that has never been used. Murphy's Law - buy a generator and the power will never go out again!
