Jef,
Some valid points brought up here.. on both sides.
This is not far from you (across the street), so you should be able to get a better close up shot of those insulators.  Most digital cameras, even in phones, take pretty high resolution shots that you can zoom in with a photo editor.  No.. don't climb the pole!  Shocked

Mick posted a nice picture of what they look like.  Here's another.  They will be normally be green, blue, or clear



Ceramic, like this, are still too common to be hunted.



And uncover the bike and get it in a shot too.  We like to see othe peoples rides!!  Cheesy

Why are my hunts always so ridden with problems!!  Huh  I swear..next time it will be "dead skunk in the middle of the road".  Yes, in the MIDDLE, on the LINE, or at least touching the line, or what would have been the line if said line in the middle of the road was continued to the next line in order on that road.  -----   X  -----  -------  Tongue

In my opinion, if nobody can do better than Jef by Monday, he will be declared "winner" so we can move on.  Cheesy

Those are the style I'm most familiar with.  There used to be an old phone line between us and the neighbor strung with bare wire on poles, and these insulators.  The old hand crank phones was hooked up to it, but didn't work.  However, when lightning would get close, it would "ding" once in a while.  You did NOT want to answer it! Grin

I've seen them in bluish, greenish, clear, and even a dark purple one.  In fact, if I dug through some boxes, I've got some somewhere...

I took this from the next pole down because it was easier to see.  The pole in the pic has the same insulators but they didn't show up in the photo nearly as well.  They look just like the green one that Mick posted except they're not colored, like the clear one in youzguyz post.

Woohoo!  Good job jef!  
I rode to work today, pick something I can find on my way home!    Wink 

That was our 27th hunt!  I've been trying to think of a prize for the winner of, say #30, or #50.... hopefully I'll come up with something.

This is a fun game, I happened across an old gas station that was "preserved" took a cellphone pic of Bettie at the gas topped gas pumps, then I realized how excited I got and then got depressed.....
