Ethereal photos of the derelict telegraph poles on New Zealand’s North Island

Somewhere in the rain soaked hills of Central North Island, New Zealand, the mist cleared and I drove through a multitude of valleys littered with abandoned or semi-abandoned telegraph poles.

Some of them seemingly cut adrift from their kin – their wires either severed or corroded and sitting in a tangled pile at the base of the pole. Others matted in thick moss, or about to be swallowed by overgrown trees and hedges, but always standing tall and stoic.

See more of RM. Burke’s photography over on Tumblr.
