Many people hate them and they were certainly a nemesis of mine in a previous incarnation.<br /><br />I used to work in retail nurseries, and folks would ask me how to disguise the poles. There is no way. I thought they should just stop obsessing on the pole and it will disappear. Oh sure, there are things like Morning Glory (<i>Convolvulus tricolor</i>) that will scramble up the pole quickly, but then they would just turn the obsession on when they'll get the finger wag from the power and phone companies.<br /><br />There is a sense of comfort in the overhead lines. I have been to places like Irvine and there is an uneasy cleanliness to the skyline, like the wide shots in Edward Scissorhands <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnzs2O-2z_U" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnzs2O-2z_U</a>.<br /><br />What am I talking about?
