Several months ago, the town of Addison, TX did an upgrade of their median streetlight poles to a new and very different style. Instead of their usual brown parking-lot style poles with orange lights, a new gray, curved style was put in, with white LED lights, a first for the town. They were installed along Belt Line Road between the Dallas North Tollway and Marsh Lane. Sorry I haven't been able to get good night shots of the lights yet, just some early-morning versions:

Anyone else with some unusual or different streetlight poles?
You can find them on Street View (I don't know how to link it from an iPad).... In Hershey, PA, the street lamps look like Hershey Kisses, at least along the main streets (Chocolate Avenue being the primary one).

Deal, NJ used to have ugly street lamp poles along Ocean Avenue. They were weirdly bent in design and most likely created by the same person who created the idea not to paint center lines on the street, but use raised cobble stones that are still in view on GSV. Now I see they've been replaced with a different design, but not so much out of the ordinary like their predecessors were.

Those look like giant versions of a halogen lamp my mother owns that doesn't work right. :D

I'm currently reading the prequel to John Christopher's Tripods trilogy (just released for the Kindle today). Those lamps look like something related to the Tripods!
