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˜‚

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

[–] BeReet 1 points 4 hours ago

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 πŸ˜‚

[–] Gromat@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 day ago

Yup, not alone

[–] MrWolf@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

We need more Pylons

Very cool! These are great!

[–] hardtrip@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

These are fantastic. Thanks for sharing!

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

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

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I sure do here’s one of the ones I’ve taken. Also changing direction.

[–] BeReet 1 points 4 hours ago

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.

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

[–] BeReet 2 points 3 days ago

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

[–] Blaster_M@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (2 children)

You can hear this image if you're old enough

[–] DaveyRocket@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

Of different colours

[–] BeReet 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Blaster_M@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] BeReet 1 points 2 days ago

That's why! I'm absolutely dog shit at games, couldn't even imagine playing StarCraft even semi competently 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 ❀️

[–] samtheeagle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] BeReet 1 points 4 hours ago

Didn't even know you had to deal with that shit πŸ˜‚ I use the boost app and I don't have to.

[–] BeReet 1 points 2 days ago

Pylon cool innit

[–] ploot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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

[–] BeReet 3 points 3 days ago

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

There's even a website, I feel seen

[–] Dero_10@mastodon.sdf.org 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] BeReet 2 points 3 days ago

Heck yes ❀️

[–] ridchessmen@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] BeReet 2 points 2 days ago

I thought so too 😊

[–] jlow@beehaw.org 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] BeReet 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Need more solar and wind in the UK without the NIMBYism

[–] jlow@beehaw.org 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] BeReet 1 points 4 hours ago

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˜‚

[–] BeReet 2 points 2 days ago

Yesss thanks for joining my cult πŸ˜‚

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Man I came here for a super fly reference. Not one 😒

[–] I_am_10_squirrels@beehaw.org 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

I'm glad you got what you came for

[–] waspentalive@lemmy.one 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] BeReet 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Y r they lit up though? They look super awesome but is it a real life thing?

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