Very nice along with the palm trees.

Great shot, Margaret - I like the confusion of wires above the street - as Laryl says, how do they keep the pantograph running against the live wires???

Nice shot. Haven't seen one of these in some time.

We used to have those in Dallas. Always loved the wiring overhead.

always somehow amazes me they build a bus system using overhead elec lines.. and amazes me the buses stay connected and still get where they need to go :) good one

We used to have these a long time ago, keep hoping they'll be re-introduced. We call them 'trolley buses'.

Nice image, very evocative.
