Pylons Spotters

[@CycloneRula]

When I was younger, I thought I was the only one who enjoyed looking at pylons.

[@S24W2]

Me too ✋

[@jessicaburdell7779]

For some reason, I've always been interested in them. They're quite a regular thing I see, most often, during my work shifts on the railroad, and there's something I can't quite put my finger on but each one of them, with the many different insulator designs make them sort of look like they have their own personalities; similar to that of some of the locomotives I work with as well.

[@sherlockholmeslives.1605]

I absolutely f**king love electricity pylons! When I was 3 years old my father asked me what I would like for Christmas, and I replied "A pylon."

[@mckiki4029]

Me too haha! I always had odd obsessions and pylons were one of them. I even wanted to be a “Pylon man” when I was little, I would always ask my parents “how tall is that one?”

[@ramblingrob4693]

This comment made me laugh so much

[@ChristianContemporaryMusic02]

I was obsessed with them too.

[@ShaylaAnthony]

After all these years, I thought I was just the only crazy one with an obsession with staring at pylons (I have called them langoliers since childhood).

[@ChristianContemporaryMusic02]

When i was a child i was so obsessed with pylons that i drew them

[@norms3913]

It must be a new sporting event since no sports is being played nowadays

[@270687carl]

No not only one, as a kid i used to love and appreciate Pylons the different types and styles used to fascinate me also so much so i built a model pylon and drew them quite often :)

[@futureatmosinc]

Me too!!!!

[@jfalsdkfds]

I've always been fascinated by Pylons. I went for a walk near Ipswich today and came near to a load of them.

[@ramblingrob4693]

Lol

My son Ben loves them. He's got a lot of pictures of them and their good!

[@RODALCO2007]

I am a pylon spotter too and love the sight of them. The different types of insulators, cable arrangements, and structures. How can I join the group ? I will post you some New Zealand pylon photo's to add.

[@MohammedKhouda]

have you a facebook page ?

[@tashalynn29]

from across the pond here...... I have always been fascinated by them since I was a kid....

[@BlackAce-zr2ms]

I have to break cover and confess to loving Pylons, I’ve loved them since I first saw them when I was 3-4, it’s been a private passion though ever since then as genuinely many believe it’s weird and I don’t blame them...

[@owenevans83]

Good song choice! Neon lights by Kraftwerk...

[@sambryce321]

I love this guys voice.

[@actionman9451]

When I was younger I had a phobia called Megaphobia which Is a fear of Pylons and other large objects. Nowadays they fascinate me as awe inspiring metal steel beasts that shouldn’t be there and are almost alien like. Yet there they are silently supplying us with power making the landscape looking even more pretty.

[@woodss82]

pylons are everywhere lol, we see them when we drive.

I use to love them as a kid every time i went on a trip i watched everyone of them and i always wondered where the lead to ... Edit : I still love them and i draw them :D

[@BurionX]

I'm sort of a pylon spotter because I usually go out and take photos of pylons

[@olafbenedetti]

You must construct aditional pylons

[@markkennard861]

In NZ we have the Cook Straight DC cable. Its overhead in Wellington to the Haywards sub station. The insulators are much longer and there are only 2. + and - 500,000 volts. Crazy stuff.

[@derekavery-v2z]

I used to build them some years ago now but a great job at the time I was known as stepbolt

[@audiotron1003]

I love the lattice work and geometrically wonder of them. Set against sunsets or sometimes if you look down on them, they look like a gossima spider's Web. I've photographed French cats heads and Japanese red and white pylons. I don't know the types but still love masts and pylons. BTW John Most of them are 50 metres or 165ft tall.

[@hollowaychris77]

Some pylons look like lord business from Lego movie when he's really tall

[@winterhell2002]

I love the Pylons with the tesla coils

[@matthewjones9259]

I was literally just in Braintree just before getting back and finding this video

[@argotsambience]

Flash is so right about the sunset behind pylons

[@TheEvking]

I'm a big fan of pylons just like Flash. These magnificant structures should be kept, and not torn down...

[@scarlettjezebel]

well done Flash, that was brilliant, could tell you were enjoying yourself!

[@CraigMilesYoutube]

OK I admit to looking at pylons and telecommunications towers with great interest. Even have photos taken abroad, as they are different to UK ones. They also slightly terrify me :-)

[@AlignedHubSeeker]

I'm absolutely petrified of pylons. I've nearly crashed a number of times over the years due to absolute terror. Any advice flash?

[@kermits_loopscx]

wow i’m scared off them to i thought i was the only one

[@LuxeXx]

I enjoy this stuff. I call them high tension power lines though. The UK towers look a little more bizarre then the standard ones in the US.

[@georgedowns4034]

You should look up "Swanscombe Pylons"- they are over 600 feet tall and look MASSIVE

Omg pylons!! I love them too XD

[@skeletalwreck]

I'm trying to find a really weird story about Pylons I either read about on the internet or seen in a documentary. It was something like this guy found an unmarked DVD, or received it anonymously in the post, and when he put it on it was a really spooky montage of pylons with weird music. It was like the weirdest mystery ever but now I can find nothing about it at all. Anyone have any ideas?

[@georgedowns4034]

Maybe you dreamt it?

[@skeletalwreck]

@@georgedowns4034 lol I definitely didn't dream this one. Although that'd also be a weird dream!

Where they are sitting in the field doing the interview I believe the location is dobbs weir. Right next to north londons main supply of electricity. The site of an ex coal fired station that is now a modern closed cycle gas turbine and even more recently added bio reactor next to the site to support it.
