Pylonesque

Some people object to electricity power lines. I guess their ancestors complained when the railways were built. Perhaps their even more distant forebears disliked the Romans constructing roads all over the country. But I digress: a photograph of a pylon somewhere near Pewsey, slightly manipulated in Lightroom (the photograph, not Pewsey).
Nikon D2Xs + AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G lens.

Old Owl, Steve Bucknell, John FitzGerald, Pics-UM have particularly liked this photo

I like the little island protected by the pylon’s legs: a little habitat in the desert of the farmed field.

They are so much a part of our landscape now that we don't notice them any longer. In that sense these are rather like the wind turbines that now dot the landscape: once reviled and then accepted and now unnoticed. When I was last in England I was amazed that there were so many.

I like this: good lines across the frame: the cables, the harvester's tracks, the contours of the landscape; as well as that small oasis that Steve Bucknell so beautifully describes.
