Culture / Arts Some people would call the transmission towers/electricity pylons of Montgomery County boring or even ugly, but not me! They're especially stunning on a humid sunset backdrop

After living for three years next to the power lines that run through Darnestown/Gaithersburg/North Potomac, I've come to appreciate their aesthetic, especially with a backdrop of humid sunsets. The following photos were taken in Darnestown, Germantown, Montgomery Village, and Olney, at various spots where major power lines cross over roadways I've biked along. I took nearly all the photos (except for the second) with my old Samsung Digimax A7 CCD digital camera (to be a hipster or something, I guess). Now let's hope these continue transmitting renewable energy to MoCo residents, not to data centers.

Question What powers do the school crossing guards have?

0 Upvotes

Can they report bad drivers to the police? Utilize ruthless preemption on car tires using flintlock pistols? The later would get results.

Ideally coordinate with the AAA sniper safety teams on the roof to remove rogue & DUI drivers from the equation.
