February's Pylon of the Month comes courtesy of Physics students at The Angmering School in West Sussex. As a Physics teacher myself, how could I resist a picture that came about as a result of learning about electricity transmission? In fact, as some readers will know, Pylon of the Month in its current incarnation came…

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…

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…

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'…

As November was pylonless, it only seemed appropriate that December's pylon of the Month should be: Seasonal. A fabulous picture. Just when I was struggling to find a picture that satisfied one of those two criteria never mind both, the picture above popped up in my @pylonofthemonth twitter feed. It was taken by @RubbishRider and…
