Chaos, you say? by monikozi

Chaos, you say?

Well, this pretty work is supposed to be done by professionals. I mean: not anyone may get up on a street pole and add cables, right?
On this particular street, there are about 10 such poles, all in such chaos. This one has caught my eye because the building behind is in a decrepit state.
organised chaos presumably

I once met a guy who was travelling the world and taking photographs of power poles such as this, it was a fascination project.

Sh
I like your style. Great shot.

Great find and shot. We have thousands of poles like this in every township. Many use it illegally and I often wonder how it all works out.

I wonder what city you are in? This is the site I normally see in the old part of Beijing.

Looks like a complete mess to me but what would I know!

@kjarn That makes two of us.

@yaorenliu @ludwigsdiana I live in a rather small town, roughly 160k inhabitants. And this particular street is a residential area, with private houses up to 2 storeys on average. This mess is totally unjustified. But as Kathy said above: what would i know? ( except that it fits the chaos theme:) )

Loving the chaos and the green of the background house. Well spotted.

Oh my....that does not look safe !
July 27th, 2021  
Looking like a disaster waiting to happen!

This is so Indian! Many towns in India have this kind of mish mash around the telegraph pole and a mass of cables slaving off each other.

An interesting shot! Can you please tell me if there is still a collection of competitions for the near future?)

Glad I'm not an electrician or telephone engineer to have to work that lot out. Neat capture. FAV

Good observation. A street photographer's nightmare. It is very difficult, sometimes impossible, to remove it from the pictures. The only remedy is a cable buried underground, but that is much more expensive.

@borof well, there are a lot of streets and poles that do not display this chaos. Even on the same street as this one, there are a couple that look much more civilized. I wonder how the phone/cable/electical workers sort them out.

@evgeniamsk Evgenia, yes, there are permanently some challenges going on. Here is the current list. https://365project.org/discuss/general/45338/july-22nd-weekly-sh*t-list

This does not look safe - nicely captured and perfectly titled
July 27th, 2021  
Perfect title… I can’t imagine trying to fix a problem within that mess of wires!
July 27th, 2021  
An excellent choice for this word, and well composed image!
July 27th, 2021  
I`m glad we get the cables into the ground. Nice and clean. Only the high voltage lines in the country are into the air. ( and I try to avoid them in most of my pic.`s.
Ghaos is a good name for it. Great find and capture .
(I think the pic. processing is a secret of the artist.)

@monikozi Oh, thank you so much!
July 28th, 2021  
@evgeniamsk Any time!
July 28th, 2021  
holy cow good luck figuring out those wires ... great Chaos entry
July 29th, 2021  
Thank you, @lesip
July 30th, 2021  
well, they're man-made, obviously not the work of spiders!
August 2nd, 2021  
@summerfield yep. Spiders work very organized. Unlike men. Thanks!
