Homes, Sunset Glow, and Power Lines 2005-12-11

It's going to take a big shift in the voting for any of the "pure" photo blogs to catch Zombie Time, which has benefited from recommendations by high profile political blogs. If you are thinking about putting up a recommendation on your own blog, now is a good time.

I took this shot yesterday walking along the river near our house. You can't miss the power lines here in Japan. They are overhead almost everywhere you go. But it's still a sight to see see high voltage lines passing through a residential neighborhood (at sunset).

It reminds me of a radio talk show that I listened to when driving across the country one time. The guest speaker said that they cannot prove statistically a significant link between power lines passing overhead and senility. But they can prove statistically a link between eating lots of hot dogs and senility... Rather than worrying about power lines, he advised not feeding your kids hot dogs. Still, I wouldn't want to live under one of these towers.
