I may have fallen down a particularly niche rabbit hole over the weekend and made a thing that generates 3D models of all the varieties of electricity tower in Britain. It's way over the top, like generating all the individual struts and bolts kind of over the top 🤓⚡

November's Pylon of the Month can be found onstage as part of Beabadoobee's Powerlines tour. I thinks it's based on an L2 or L66 pylon! Lots more information in the usual place. pylonofthemonth.org/

Why to utility workers get up every day and keep the grid in tip top shape? A) It’s our job B) It’s great fun C) The kit is largely STUNNING 🤩 [Photos 📸 Jonny H]

October's Pylon of the Month is from Northmoor just west of Oxford. It's on the 400 kV Cowley- Seven Springs line and was sketched by a talented colleague of mine. pylonofthemonth.org/2026/10/…

August's Pylon of the Month is from the Sperrin mountains of Northern Ireland. pylonofthemonth.org/ It includes a poem, Pylons, by Stanley Snaith that last featured in August 2017. Regoogling it led me to discover that there is now a band called @PylonPoets

Another busy weekend of DAR action on my favourite Route- Route ZL (1959). I’ll be running seven trip tests on a big 3 ender, with FR suppression. It’ll be hot. It’ll be tiring. It’ll be intense. But it’s usually fun. And vitally important to the resilience of our power system 💪🏻

Taking the D123 out of Marennes, SW France, is extraordinary: there is a stork's nest (sometimes two) on every pylon, for pylon after pylon. Tricky to photograph, tho at 80kmp - in passenger seat, I hasten to add

Longer days, warmer weather - time to enjoy some power safari. A Danube upstairs, and downstairs two stacked hammerheads configured to create a double-circuit branch to/from a line of (steel?) tube vertical towers. 🗺️📍 N52.56681, E6.36664 @EngineerLondon @pylonofthemonth

Een bericht terug keken we bij Amprion, maar ook op de Nederlandse saranne.. eh, savanne kan je prima op #powersafari. Ruben Schots legde Aftak Marsmanweg vast in het ochtendschemer. Een mooie dag voor een hoog percentage zonnestroom door de draden.

March's Pylon of the Month is more of a pole, but it does feature Bad Bunny and his Super Bowl halftime show. You surely must want to know more - all the details are in the usual place. pylonofthemonth.org/
