Peter,

I love the photo, particularly the composition of the line of light posts. 
However, looking at the enlarged version, my old engineer's curiosity is 
aroused.  What is the function of the cable, cord, whatever, that is 
spiraling around the post?  Having dealt with stabilizing slender stacks in 
strong winds, I first thought of vortex breakers to break up the shedding 
vortices which cause such structures to whip back and forth from side to 
side.  On closer examination, this does not appear to be the case with these 
posts.

Any suggestions?
