A lucky find along a closed railway in eastern Germany. Various styles of porcelain telephone and telegraph insulator, rescued from cut down poles... somebody needed some poles, so he cut them and abandoned the crossarms on the ground. In this photo one of the crossarms, with still the insulators. Unfortunately some were broken.
