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

Tell me I'm not alone πŸ˜‚

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/

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

    They always look so majestic but with that added sense of danger πŸ˜‚. 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.

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

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

    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. πŸ˜‚

    I'm always impressed by how arrow-straight their line-ups are

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