It's been a busy month and with only eleven days to go I had a decision to make; wait until June or get a pylon up for May. Pylon fans everywhere reading this will, I'm sure, be relieved that the latter option was chosen. This month's pylon is a nod to current affairs, with…

April's Pylon of the Month was provided by a colleague (@RadleyGeol) on a recent Geology field trip and it breaks new ground for the blog because it is the first one on the website to have been taken by a drone – a DJI Spark 2 no less. The field trip was taking place at…

s March's Pylon of the Month is one of the most amazing pylon pictures that I've seen. I came across it on Twitter (thanks to @city_wander) and although on the whole, I don't tend to use images from the internet on the main blog, I couldn't resist this one. It was taken in California by…

A belated Happy New Year to pylon fans everywhere, but especially to those in Sweden, because that's where February's pylon comes from. We've had some amazing photographs recently, but I like to keep things real and so this month's pylon is a welcome return to the 'pylon pictures taken from the window of a moving vehicle'…

The usual 'too much to do and not enough time to do it' at the start of a new academic year almost made September another month without a pylon.

This month we have a Scottish pylon from Loch Errochty, a man made freshwater loch in Perth and Kinross. The pylons are on the Beauly to Denny power line which brings power from renewable sources in the north of Scotland to consumers further south. It was (and remains) very controversial and the Herald Scotland reported…

The month of May passed by without a pylon and so summer is now here rather than 'icumen in'. This month's pylon, however, is looking back to a day in the Alps earlier in the year when a fan of the website took time out to take this picture of a mountain pylon. The angle of the…

I get quite a lot of emails from fans of the website with pictures of pylons attached, but the one that led to April's Pylon of the Month started very well: Thank you for maintaining that wonderful publication that is Pylon of the Month. Needless to say, I warmed to the sender immediately…

With a new school year starting, getting a pylon up on the blog for September is always tough and with the middle of the month looming, I'd begun to think that it might not happen. Yesterday, however, I had a conversation with one of the students I teach and they mentioned that on the way…

Finally, here is another pylon and if I don't get better at making time to keep updating this blog, I might have to call it Pylon of the (every other) Month. Anyway, July brings another pylon sent in by a fan of the blog: I enjoy your blog and thought you might be interested in…
