Mesmerize by Astrid Pardew
For the Lines Challenge Just a pylon! Had to lie flat on the ground to get this angle :) Available without the border. My dear RB friends, I appreciate your comments greatly! I prefer to reciprocate them rather than thank you individually so please do not be offended by my lack of replies here. I shall be commenting on your work instead. Thank you all… Astrid x

Bright New Energy by Colin S Pearson
This is a digitally tweaked image of one of the giant pylons stretching across the Bristol Channel between England and Wales. I took the original photo at sunset from the footpath about half-way along the Severn Road Bridge. I see this as a hint that we mustn’t take our always-available electricity for granted! / . / I’m delighted that this picture has been featured in the Pylon Photos and Art Group! / . / / .

GOD'S LIGHTNING SHOW by SMOKEYDOGSOCKS
MAY 12, 1988: ON TOP OF MOUNT VACA LOOKING OVER THE TOWN OF VACAVILLE CALIFORNIA AND SACRAMENTO VALLEY TOWARDS RIO VISTA. THE LIGHTNING STORM STARTED IN THE SIERRAS AND TRAVELED ACROSS THE SACRAMENTO VALLEY ALL THE WAY AROUND THE CASCADE MOUNTAINS TO THE NAPA VALLEY. ABOUT 20 SECONDS AFTER LEAVING MY PARKING SPOT, WHERE I TOOK THIS PHOTO FROM, DAYLIGHT HAPPENED. THE LIGHTNING STRIKE WAS SO INTENSE, THAT MY FRIEND WHO WAS WITH ME AND JUST HAPPENED TO BE BLIND, SAID HE WAS ABLE TO SEE SOME OF THE LIGHT IN WHAT LITTLE VISSION HE HAD. AND BELIEVE ME, HE COULDN’T SEE THAT MUCH. THIS PHOTO MAKES A GREAT 20X30 TO HANG ON THE WALL, MAYBE OVER A FIREPLACE MANTLE. / LIGHTNING STRIKES LIKE THESE HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO BE OVER 10,000 DEGREES IN TEMPERATURE AT THE CORE OF THE STRIKE, WHICH MIGHT ONLY BE ONE INCH IN DIAMETER. THIS SHOT WAS A MULTIPLE EXPOSURE SHOT OF 4 EXPOSURES OF 20 SECONDS EACH WITH A CABLE SHUTTER RELEASE ON A TRIPOD. THE CAMERA WAS A CANON EOS 620 WITH THE SHUTTER SET ON THE B SETTING AND THE F STOP WAS SET AT FF:22, SO I WOULDN’T OVER EXPOSE THE CITY LIGHTS. TO GIVE THIS IMAGE SOME SORT OF SCALE, THE TWO RED LIGHT TOWERS THAT ARE JUST TO RIGHT OF CENTER, THE SHORT ONE IS 1600 FEET TALL AND THE TALLEST ONE IS 2000 FEET TALL. I WAS ON TOP OF A MOUNTAIN THAT IS 2800 FEET IN ALTITUDE. THOSE TWO TOWERS ARE APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES AWAY FROM WHERE I WAS SITTING.

Marching To War by SilverGinger
I am am obsessed with electricity pylons, I find them such fascinating structures. They remind me of something out of ‘War Of The Worlds’ like they are marching across the land looking for humans to kill. I’m not sure where I took this, except that it was on moor land outside of Halifax in South Yorkshire. The peat had be burned leaving the land very charred.
