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

You can hear this image if you're old enough

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

Of different colours

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks 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 ❀️

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks 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!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Very cool! These are great!

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

They have an interesting fractal-like construction.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks 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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Heck yes ❀️

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Yup, not alone

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

I thought so too 😊

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

We need more Pylons

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

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

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

Need more solar and wind in the UK without the NIMBYism

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks 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˜‚

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

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

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

Yesss thanks for joining my cult πŸ˜‚

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks 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˜‚

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

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

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

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.
