I've always loved pylons - grew up in Southern California, and took a million trips to the surrounding deserts as a kid, you know, Anza Berrago, Death Valley, Utah and beyond (mom was afraid to fly, so always car trips!).
For some reason, I always kind of like their juxtaposition with the landscape. They have the loneliest job - unmanned, no friends nearby. Just these spindly outposts crisscrossing the middles of nowhere, serviced by some barely maintained dirt road.
And getting right under them, that crackle sound you hear - that just scares the hell out of me. Especially if its drizzling out, like the raindrops are going to bring some of the high voltage down on my head.
But yeah, I can see how most people hate the things.
And for the record, I'm afraid of fountains.
So do I fit in with the TG community with that combination of fetish and phobia?
All in good fun of course!
