January's Pylon of the Month comes from a fan of the website who was driving through Scotland when a perfect pylon moment occurred. The email that came with the photo captures that moment perfectly: Scotland, Tuesday, 1st January 2019, New Year’s Day, driving home from Wester Ross to East Lothian southwards down the A9 (mercifully…

November was another pylonless month and with December rushing by, I decided that action had to be taken to ensure that two fallow months in succession didn't come to pass. A recent email inspired this month's post: Hello, I wrote a poem about a pylon and was wondering if you would like to feature it…

September flashed by without a pylon and October was in danger of doing the same until I was reminded by my eldest son of a promise I had made about a pylon picture he took recently on his travels in the USA. You can see it above in all its watery glory, but if you…

August's Pylon of the Month is another first because it features a temporary pylon. By the time you read this, it might already be too late to see it in real life but rest assured that if reports of any other temporary pylons come into Pylon HQ, I'll be sure to get the news…

Summer is here and so a picture of a pylon with blue skies and sea featuring prominently would always have stood a chance of making it onto the website. Having the Golden Gate bridge in the background made it a shoo-in. The picture was sent in by a young electrical engineer on secondment from Australia…

June's Pylon of the Month comes from the island of Formentera in Spain, which seems entirely appropriate for an early summer pylon. I hope that it's a bit less controversial than April's Pylon which attracted this comment: I was rather dissatisfied with this months pylon and i am considering if I really wish to renew…

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'…
