The photo above appears to show three wires angling down towards the ground from the lighting column. In this street view, the wires can be seen crossing at an angle the road that runs beside the river. "Appears", since I suppose it could possibly be an illusion of perspective, but if they are down, something brought them down.

They appear to be under tension, so if they are down, and if they are still attached to the other pole, the other pole is down too.
As someone who works in the electricity supply industry, I think those wires are under proper tension and it's just an optical illusion...they seem to be 'regulated' correctly.
