#pyloncore

Featuring two of my personal favorites, the Shukhov tower(s) by the Oka river in Russia and the Duga-3 "Woodpecker" in Pripyat

PicMix gif I cooked up of the pink pylon that was demolished in 2003

The blinkie that says "Katie the Kreator" was made by me with ezgif and kleki, everything else is from PicMix and the PinkPylon website. PicMix is fun!

Another pylon-related thing. Collage of pylons, poles, and a substation that I made using all my own photos and ibisPaint.

Making this collage is what got me interested in electrical infrastructure to begin with, and then I spent ridiculous amounts of time learning minute details about it, for who knows why. Now I'm at the point where I can talk at length about every part of a utility pole and its function. Insulators, fuse cutouts, transformers, service loops, secondary service drops, primary conductors and neutrals, pole-mounted capacitor banks, guy wires, what-have-you. I'm too deep in the electrical infrastructure lore bro nobody knows what I'm talking about 💀

The towering of the lattice steel structures reminds both of the base and branches of a tree, and the skeleton of a human.

The transmission pylons conductors creates an overhead network, much like how the mycelium and roots of trees creates an underground network, the human bodys nervous system an internal network, the clouds and lightning a sky network, and planets and stars an astral network.
