Not the first photo I’ve posted that features pylons—I do confess to a perverse passion for them. Neither was the photo recently taken. But …
The line of pylons is greatly compressed, by use of f16 stop: 31st May 2017
… I can’t imagine a photo more suited to #2019picoftheweek challenge title: Leading Lines
There’s a total of 8 pylons in this shot.

Perfect fit for the prompt. The incidences of pylons is dwindling here in the US as utility lines are often buried.

Well here, there are a group of villages connected by an excellent web of footpaths, and nearly every one of them passes under these lines. They crackle, did you know that. An odd sound. Worse in misty or damp weather. And cattle in the fields beneath them tend to stay away from them.
But something of them. No puns intended, but there’s something … powerful about that tall triangular structure.

This is a great shot on many levels..great composition of the line of pylons.. I especially love the dark greens in the foreground and those light greens in the center field. It’s so visually beautiful. Good job!

I thank you, Judy. I have posted this photo before (back in 2017). But I processed it again from the orginal, and helped it to pop … better. 🙂

There is something pleasing to the eye about these structures. Maybe it’s all the lines and angles. Nice shot!

I thank you, Maria.
I haven’t seen yours today. Are you late posting, or have I missed it in the scroll? Easily done as there was a major wad when I checked in here. 🙂

Me too; I tend to make Friday my upload-and-schedule-posts day. Though I also add some later.

Although the world might be more scenic without them, I do agree they have a stark grace, especially when they’re surrounded by nature.

I look at these and all I can think of is the lines and lines of ours, bent over during the ice storm of ’98!
Great shot!

I heard something about that ice-storm the other day. Is that the one that took out communications? I just can’t imagine that happening here.
And I thank you for your appreciative comment. And now … though it’s early for you, my hard-worked eyes are insisting I close down for the night. Bo-hho, cos I’ve still got the energy. No good having energy if everything turns to a blur. 🙂 🙂 🙂

It was 20 years ago from Jan 5-10. We were without power for 3 weeks.

Three weeks! Heck, how did you cope? I pace the floors if power id off for 12 hours.

Thankfully, my sister and I (both very pregnant) hung out at HER place for that time. She was in an area that was not affected for more than 24 hours.

That was fortunate for you that you could. I don’t know what I’d do. I’ll all electric. Go to my daughter’s across the river; at least she has heat and cooking on gas. But she hasn’t much room. I’d have to take loads of pens and paper, and renew my acquaintance with the library!

It wasn’t an option, Crispina. It was -10C and below. We could not stay in our house. The water froze in the cats’ water bowl!

But that’s what I’m saying, what would you have done if you hadn’t had a sister, or other family to go to? We take electricity so much for granted. I hate that I’m dependant on it. Time was I had a fireplace, could have an open fire. Yikes. But you survived it. I think in England we’re too soft, we have things too easy. And where I live in East Anglia, apart from coastal erosion and the occasional sea-surge, it’s like we live in God’s Bleesed Land. I give thanks. 🙂

It would have been intolerable. The shelters were filled to over-flowing and looked like they were horrid conditions… I am blessed I had somewhere to go. But all sorts of neighbours showed their generosity so I’m sure we would have figured something out.

Yea, I guess when the shit happens, the people realise they live in a community and they begin to help one another. Shame shit has to happen first. But then, under normal conditions that’s called being nosy and interfering. Can’t win.

Lovely photo. I also must admit a liking for pylons. I can’t explain it, but they make for very interesting photos. And I love how the pylons in your photo start to blend together the further away they get 🙂
