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

This is fucking sick

[–] Blaster_M@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You can hear this image if you're old enough

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

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

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Of different colours

[–] BeReet@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

Pylon cool innit

[–] BeReet@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] BeReet@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 year ago

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

These are fantastic. Thanks for sharing!

[–] BeReet@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 year ago

Very cool! These are great!

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

[–] BeReet@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 year 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.

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

They have an interesting fractal-like construction.

[–] BeReet@thelemmy.club 3 points 1 year 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

Heck yes ❀️

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

Yup, not alone

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

I thought so too 😊

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

We need more Pylons

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

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

[–] BeReet@thelemmy.club 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Need more solar and wind in the UK without the NIMBYism

[–] jlow@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year 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@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 year 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˜‚

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

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

[–] angrystego@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] BeReet@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 year ago

Yesss thanks for joining my cult πŸ˜‚

[–] Cerborealis@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] BeReet@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 year 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˜‚

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

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

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?

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