The combination of weird angle, polarizing filter, and oblique late afternoon sun gives this picture a twilight zone quality. It's the light pole at the corner of Pacific and Vanderbilt next to the Vanderbilt Railyards.
I took this photo while strolling around with Brit in Brooklyn. We noticed a taut monofilament line stretching from the pole to the fence surrounding the project site. What could its function possibly be? Hanging banners?

Yes, it's an eruv.
These demarcators of monofilament are attached to street lamps, poles etc. are also in Prospect Park.

An eruv eh? That's a very interesting theory.
