P is for posts or poles

No, I'm not posting about Poles from Poland but about whether these structures are poles or posts. My practical English is limited so please tell me: Are these structures poles or posts - or something quite different?

PS The phantastic blue sky is not made by any program, but by a careful use of a polarizing filter (although Photoshop has played its part too).

PS2 Yes, the picture was photographed today.
