26’’ tall pylon model, made by me using bamboo sticks, hot glue, silver spray paint, and assorted beads (apple for scale). It took me a solid three or four days to complete. I adore it but have nowhere to put it lol

hey, everybody! i’m trying to track down a post about electric transmission towers/pylons (you know, the type with 1+ image(s) of the various styles of tower structure and probably also invitations to tag yourself/tag your favorite/vote like it’s about which ocean is the most f—able)…
- if anyone remembers this post, can you please drop me a link in the comments?
- if i’ve hallucinated this, can you please tell me so i can go do enough research to bring it into being?
- if you’re not in either of the above camps, can you please reblog until somebody finds out?
thanks! and happy new year to at least somebody out there!

The Pylons
Stephen Spender
The secret of these hills was stone, and cottages
Of that stone made,
And crumbling roads
That turned on sudden hidden villages
Now over these small hills, they have built the concrete
That trails black wire
Pylons, those pillars
Bare like nude giant girls that have no secret.
The valley with its gilt and evening look
And the green chestnut
Of customary root,
Are mocked dry like the parched bed of a brook.
But far above and far as sight endures
Like whips of anger
With lightning’s danger
There runs the quick perspective of the future.
This dwarfs our emerald country by its trek
So tall with prophecy
Dreaming of cities
Where often clouds shall lean their swan-white neck.
