Looks like more giant pylons coming to the Highlands, this time running from Spittal in the very north to Beauly. Aesthetics aside, you would have thought, in the light of our experiences of extreme weather in the last few years, the powers to be would be wanting a cable. Sure, high voltage cable is very expensive, but then the power companies are raking it in. #pylons
"expanding and greening the grid will be demanding—and phenomenally expensive" but we're going to have to do it anyway.

There's power in those #fieldsOfGold. And danger in those roiling #skies.
And between the two? That's where we live, love, work, hurt, yearn, learn, joy, and eventually come to our end.

It all piles on.

A very different subject for me today. Staythorpe Power Station. But if you walk along #rivers you’ll encounter such scenes, especially along the #RiverTrent. Not keen on the #fascist vibe, but it’s quite striking. #Industrial #Landscape #Pylons #BlackAndWhitePhoto #Phone #Snapseed #RiverStride #ImageOfTheDay

Pylons, and a water test well at a local stream. #walks #pylons #localtrails
In the dampen places by the #RiverLea betwixt Turnford and Hoddleston, some cunning bastards have been stealing *parts* of #pylons. Experts suggest they may be trying to construct a 'FrankenPylon' to wreak electrical devastation upon the land.

This always reminds me of the film Troll Hunter so I always refer to it in my head as "Troll Country" #TrollHunter #BlackstoneEdge #pylons

FRIDAY PHOTO FETISH

I have a thing for Pylons. Like most ‘things’, it’s a love/ hate relationship.
They are undoubtedly a blight on the landscape, spoiling the natural beauty of the world.
To me they are also beautiful in their own right, striding fearlessly across the land like giant creatures from another world.
I also think their form, clearly not off the natural world, highlights the beauty surrounding them
