I would say that vine had seen enough of that pole blocking it's sunlight. It appears to have grabbed the pole and is trying to pull it over. Great shot!

If that is wysteria (and it sure does look like it) it will eventually pull the pole down.

Puddleboy,
Wysteria? Could you give me a little more information about it? Do you think the part that is big enough to be a tree is part of it or is the wysteria using a tree to climb to the pole? It is a scary image, it appears as though things are going on at the aboandoned site that wouldn't happen if there were humans around. A little Stephen King-type activity perhaps.

This is a great shot -- check out the thickness of the vine -- and the cool water tower in the background

Wysteria is a type of flowering vine (having grape-like bunches of flowers when in bloom) that you can literally watch grow. I left my truck window down while parked next to a wysteria-covered wall and overnight the vine grew in through the open window and around the steering wheel. This type of vine has been known to split tractors apart and lift out other plants (full grown trees included) as many invasive species have been known to do., so Puddleboy's comment about the vine pulling down the pole is completely within reason.

The water tower reminded me of the Martians in The War of the Worlds.
