@Richard: PErhaps they serve as orientinge element (as many elements in
the street): for identifying where we are.
@John: Thanks for the info.

Actually, lightning rods prevent large lightning strikes, by encouraging a
series of small discharges, without the potential building up to the point that
a devas ortatingly-large lightning strike takes place.

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 ;-)
