Fun fact: You can estimate the voltage by the length of the insulators. My guess is this is around 100kV (2x 3 phase circuits), around the border of transmission and distribution voltages.
You can also estimate the capacity by the number of conductors per phase. This has a pair of lines for each phase, so a fair chunk, but not the 3 or 4 conductors you sometimes see (although maybe you mainly see that on higher transmission voltages.
I have a similar photo.
Seems like something we should construct more of
Are we sharing pylons?
I like pictures like this, shows that the person who took it is somewhat creative and thinks out of the box.
You are now trapped by my stand『SUPER FLY』
I like when something usually considered just background becomes interesting.
I like geometric patterns :)
If I remember correctly, you are now trapped there until you trick someone else into taking your spot.
Looking up an electricity pylon's skirt.
The effing tower.
Straight out of Dr. Strange
Looks like part of a space station orbiting a water planet
That looks super neat.
Did you also get to see the Mona Lisa?
Did you get a buzzing sensation being under it?
...good luck!
This, this I like.
Damn I’ve always wanted to stop along the highway and get a shot like this. Great pic. Thank you
Everyone who sees anything on this picture... Are you sure you are not enemy stand users?
Love this perspective shot.
damn the 5g radiation coming from this photo is enlarging my gayness allele
Some of these were installed on my family farm in the US through eminent domain. Meaning, we had no choice but the government was supposed to pay us a fair market value for the use of our land. I still remember that because that year all us three kids all got new bicycles!
I don't love them. If you are right underneath them, it seems like you feel the electricity and sometimes hear them crackle.
