Hi,

I searched in the wiki and I did not find a tag dor lightning conductor.
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_rod]. Is there any tag dfor that?

Dear Xan,

In what context would it be appropriate to add lightning conductors to
the map?  They are common on buildings, communication towers, etc.,
but I think they are insignificant compared to the main structure.
Even given a place with a large number of lightning conductors, like
the Lightning Field art installation[1], I think I would be more
inclined to mark the area, rather than individual lightning rods.

Mmm. I'm not convinced. They are small like clocks could be, and we have tags for clocks.

For the other hand, it could be lightning conductors without any structure below: I live near a place (amenity=pedestrian, area=yes) with a lightning conductor in the middle 8-| And in many mountains they are near communication installations.
Do you have something else in mind?  Have I missed another application
of these objects?

One application is obvious: the knowledge for the knowledge (kiddy). Serious applications, I don't know. Perhaps for knowing the probability of hitting lightnings?

Best regards,
Richard

Mmm... interesting. I don't know that "strange" art ;-)
