The phenomena is a result of vortex shedding.

Look it up

Vibration dampeners, anyone?

Looks pretty cold. Would be nice if those conductors touched and warmed things up a little.

OH***MY***GOD! If an occurrence could happen a single contact electrical apocalypse...

[MrAchiniwalla]

I have always found these towers scary and I would always imagine a superman or someone along with his friends, ripping these poles apart and sending them somewhere deep in outer space beyond our solar system..
