I love the lines they offer, this one in particular because of the different direction they go in.

Not usually into pylon photos, but that’s a damn good photo all the same!

There's an artist who took pictures at different times of day to combine them in one photo of a high voltage pylon like that, it's really cool:

Here's some coverage with photos of the work in progress and links to their page(s): https://mymodernmet.com/cal-cole-time-slice-photography/

This is fucking sick

I always love those photos but I'd need it to be summer to get one like that I think πŸ˜‚

You can hear this image if you're old enough

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Without ever seeing one before, I’m somewhat sure I require additional ones.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Of different colours

I'm 36, I don't know what it is. Should I be embarrassed? πŸ˜‚

I replied pylon cool innit because the post just said pylon and didn't show the pic but that's a great pylon pic ❀️

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Hah! It took me about 10 attempts to get the chuffin pic inline in the post ><

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Moody photo. These pylons have an interesting fractal-like construction.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I just thought "that change in direction is sweet" πŸ˜‚ I like your way of putting it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Heck yes ❀️

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I thought so too 😊

Yeah, they are pretty cool (especially when connecting renewables to the grid).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Need more solar and wind in the UK without the NIMBYism

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

Also while we're on it make it state owned, I've heard that 90% of Scottish "renewables" are owned by firms not even from Scotland (but Danmark, Finland and Saudi Arabia or something). Something as essential as electricity should not be owned privately.
