I love the lines they offer, this one in particular because of the different direction they go in.
Tell me I'm not alone π
Not usually into pylon photos, but thatβs a damn good photo all the same!

Thank you very much! A couple who were smoking a bifta together after riding in on an electric scooter were about 200 metres to my left π
Yup, not alone
We need more Pylons
Yesss
Very cool! These are great!
These are fantastic. Thanks for sharing!
I'm always impressed by how arrow-straight their line-ups are
I sure do hereβs one of the ones Iβve taken. Also changing direction.
They always look so majestic but with that added sense of danger π. My dad climbed one once in his youth, it came up often, he was very proud of it. Obviously he was thick as fuck but it's impressive nonetheless.
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 π
You can hear this image if you're old enough
Without ever seeing one before, Iβm somewhat sure I require additional ones.
Of different colours
I'm 36, I don't know what it is. Should I be embarrassed? π
That's why! I'm absolutely dog shit at games, couldn't even imagine playing StarCraft even semi competently π
You are not alone...
I replied pylon cool innit because the post just said pylon and didn't show the pic but that's a great pylon pic β€οΈ
Hah! It took me about 10 attempts to get the chuffin pic inline in the post ><
Didn't even know you had to deal with that shit π I use the boost app and I don't have to.
Pylon cool innit
Moody photo. These pylons have an interesting fractal-like construction.
I just thought "that change in direction is sweet" π I like your way of putting it.
That's quite nice
I thought so too π
Yeah, they are pretty cool (especially when connecting renewables to the grid).
Need more solar and wind in the UK without the NIMBYism
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.
It's insane when the powers that be think it's a good idea to just sell off the resources. Sell the excess by all means, don't sell the fucking source. Every necessary utility should be government owned, Internet included as long as it's not proper shit. π
You're so not alone!
Yesss thanks for joining my cult π
Man I came here for a super fly reference. Not one π’
I came for Star Craft
I'm glad you got what you came for
Y r they lit up though? They look super awesome but is it a real life thing?
They are AI Art from Night cafe.

Booooo. Stop calling it art. It's a prompt that spat this out.
