I've wondered often about doing a set based on pylons and sub-stations as the UK countryside is full of them.  For me, they're a real blot on the landscape but this set has swung my opinion round a bit as it's a cracker.  Keep 'em coming - really nice series.

Sometimes we just need to adapt to the circumstances.  The flat, steely-grey light works well with this sort of subject.  On a blue-sky, sunny day, they wouldn't have the "menace" these shots have.
