[OSM-newbies] tag for "lightning conductor" (pararayosin spanish)

[john at jfeldredge.com]

Well, perhaps the lightning rods where you are tend to be two or three meters in length, with huge cables.  From my experience, in the USA, they tend to be about one foot long (slightly less than one third of a meter), with both the rod and the cable being only a couple of centimeters in diameter.  Not only are they less noticeable than what you describe, they are also standard on large commercial buildings, and not unknown on houses, so they are common enough to have little value as a landmark.

Why not? A huge cable with 2 or 3 meters of length in a top of building 
is a thing you could see clearly.
