Another month has passed me by and I'm posting this pylon in the last few days of November so that it is there for the whole of December. I had good intentions on my return from Japan (see October's pylon) but time slipped through my fingers and so once again it is a case of…

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…

May's pylon is a little late arriving, but I hope that the wait will have been worthwhile. In the finest traditions of Pylon of the Month, it was a picture I took myself from the window of a moving car (before all you road safety conscious pylon fans get in touch, don't worry; I was…

There will always be a place on Pylon of the Month for the snatched pylon pictures taken through the window of a moving vehicle, but this month's pylon is most definitely one of the most artistic to have featured on the blog. With the metallic sky in the background and the contrast with the brown…

Regular readers of this blog are probably looking at this month's pylon and wondering what is going on, but for the first pylon of 2014 I thought that it would be appropriate to feature the first artist to recognise the significance of the pylon. The picture is by Tristram Hillier and was painted in 1933.…

Despite all my good intentions, November has almost passed by without a pylon and so here is one that I hope will also do for the festive season ahead. There aren't any suitably wintry photos in my pending tray, but then I realised that a Meccano pylon would be perfect for Christmas. It was built…

After a break for the start of the academic year in September, Pylon of the Month is back with the first of the autumn international pylons. This month, we in Bulgaria for the first time with another pylon sent in by a fan of the website. For those who have visiting all the pylons of…

It's that time of year again when I have to select the best pylon picture from my holiday snaps. In some previous years, this hasn't been difficult because I only took one photo but this year my cup runneth over. I could have gone for the close up with the sea in the background, or…
