Cramond Island causeway anti-boat pylons

Took this on a visit to Costco.. I just grabbed a camera on my way out and didn't pay any attention to the lens till I started to use it and found that the lens I had wasn't made for close up shots.. Oh well, you do with what you have ..:-( Happy Telegraph Tuesday, Everybody!!

The pylon mirrored the hieroglyph Akhet 'horizon', which was a depiction of two hills "between which the sun rose and set". Consequently, it played a critical role in the symbolic architecture of a building associated with the place of re-creation and rebirth. Its significance is highlighted through architectural grandeur and relief sculptures.

Pylons are rich in symbolic meaning within ancient Egyptian temple architecture, representing gateways to the divine, a connection between the temple and the heavens. Shot from the temple of Isis at Philae island, Aswan.

Somewhere in the Surrey countryside the Pylons make their mark in the most rural of spots . This is a bridleway somewhere between Downside and Stoke d'Abernon as it passes over a small tributary - off of the River Mole .

Buckinghamshire.

View On Black

Our photo group had a theme of 'pylons, wires and thing like that'. The inset is a photo I took of an electrical engineer up a telegraph pole - which I have then blended with a screengrabbed image of someone holding a lightbulb.

I liked the connection of the lightbulb being powered by the cables being repaired (although they were probably actually telephone cables - but let's not let the facts get in the way....)

Pylons in Stoke Saltings, Grain, Kent

This pylon is especially for my big-hearteed (and lover of hearts!) friend, Solarscot on his birthday!

Another one from the archives; some bleakly located pylons in Southern Iceland.

As seen in South Hertfordshire.

Continual ill health is reducing my time here at present.

Not very dramatic, but I like it.

Pylons in Stoke Saltings, Grain, Kent

Near M1 J21A this large L6 pylon with 25 cables and around 400,000 volts is also a phone mast. Sky was cloudy with a little blue, looks better in Black & White.

Do we now subconsciously accept man made objects like pylons and wind turbines intruding into the skyline

This is located in Bramham Park, West Yorkshire

The march of pylons - man made power versus the power of the sun!

I liked how the insulators on the pylon caught he light.

Tidied up slightly after View 35.

More fun around Barnet Marine Park or on that day my playground. I was left wondering what must have happened in the past around this place with so many pylons left dormant. However, they often make for an interesting photo subject.
