A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, some photons of light set out on a journey towards earth. They arrived recently and had the luck to be captured by @Skullet who posted a picture on twitter which caught my eye because of the pylon. The galaxy concerned is Andromeda and you can…

November slipped by without a pylon and not wanting pylon fans to end the year on a downer with another blank month, I was looking through the numerous pylon pictures sent in by fans, but struggling to find one that was right for December. Then on Twitter as @pylonofthemonth, I was alerted to the wonderful…

The last two months have been up close and personal with my holiday pylons and so for October, I have gone for a more picturesque sunset pylonscape. I quite like 'pylonscape' as a portmanteau word, although a quick Google search reveals that I'm not the first to use it, with John Sandell photography getting there…

With the start of a new academic year, I have been pressed for time and if a few more days had passed, I might not have got round to posting a pylon for September. Then I was contacted by the BBC and asked to appear on the Mark Forrest show (about the decision to…

With my summer holiday (in Turkey) looming and the usual 'holiday pylon' to follow in August, I thought that I would choose a UK pylon for July. I have quite a backlog of submissions from fans of the website, but this rather splendid one from Essex caught me eye as I trawled back through…

I took it in December whilst on a family holiday in South Africa and the pylons can be found near Stellenbosch,…

This month's post is the 50th pylon to feature on Pylon of the Month since it began back in June 2008 (at least for me; there was a website of the same name that insipred me as detailed in the 'About' section of the blog). With the Scottish Indepedence referendum due to take place…

It's that time of year again when I use a pylon picture taken on my summer holidays. I've been doing it for a few years now and after a Greek pylon two years ago from the Pelion area of the mainland, this year's isn't too far away in geographical terms. We spent two wonderful weeks…

This post has beeen a long time coming as the end of the school year left me short of time and so for all you pylon fans out there wondering where June's pylon went, I can only apologise. I hope that this rather splendid artistic shot will make up for it. As with so many…
