Cable and stormcloud

Algete street scene 24. Broadly similar to a post last year but with one big difference. The trees last year threw many shadows across the road. Now they've all been chopped down. Not sure why, but on looking at one or two of the stumps, perhaps some form of longhorn beetle larva (I've seen similar in other places). Anyway ANOTHER storm on the way and I got home just in time!
BTW, someone (who shall remain nameless - she meant no harm), deleted the cable from this.shot. I prefer it in and kept it in for the purpose of compositional balance. Please don't amend my photos without my permission for whatever reason. Thank you!

Thank you, Rosa! I need to see if I can find out online via the council's website. I'll let you know if I find out anything.

Pity about the trees and I hope that cable doesn't move down any further;-)

A member removed the cable, Gudrun. I'm sure she thought she was doing me a favour but no; I wanted it in so I deleted her comment and reversed the alteration. In fairness she did say I coud do that if I didn't agree. But I do wish people wouldn't take it upon themselves to 'improve' others' compositions. No-one sees the same thing in exactly the same way!

Gudrun replied to Andy Rodker:

Yes, I think that cable is an important part of the photo because it sags:-)

If people ask beforehand and then post their version in a comment as a basis for discussion I might go along with it, but not if my original is replaced.

It's how it is in real life, so things like the cable should be left in. It looks a lovely area to live in, and you're obviously happy there
