Amman — Electric Poles

  • Photography

A photographic study of Amman's utility poles and the overhead wires that cross its skies.

Two leaning poles, one a lattice tower, silhouetted against a gradient from deep blue to pale gold, wires crossing above.
  1. Looking up at a wooden pole wrapped in coiled cable, with dozens of wires fanning across a pale evening sky.

  2. Dusk over a residential street: a pole thick with crossbars, wires sagging over a pink-lit building and trees, the moon low behind.

  13. Sunrise along a street: a lattice pole and a row of smaller poles silhouetted against an orange sky, buildings dark on either side.

  14. A pole at the centre of a symmetrical web of wires stretched against a flat grey sky.

  15. Black-and-white: a pole bristling with insulators above a concrete rooftop, wires crossing in every direction.
