So beautiful

This person makes really beautiful digital art that features a lot of power lines. I think it's really cool. Example:

Overhead transmission lines are so 1950s.

Invest in your country.

Powerlines are cool and they make great framing for art

If I'm gonna be entirely honest, I think power lines are really nice looking. I even have them as my phones wallpaper. Maybe it's just because I have a interest in infrastructure or something, idk

I know it's a very unpopular opinion but I actually like the aesthetics of infrastructure and industry.

When I see a steel mill, an oil rig or powerplants like wind parks, hydro- or nuclear power I am reminded of the human ingenuity that went into it. How many people needed to band together to work on something bigger than their tribe. I am reminded of our awe inspiring power to shape our environment completely.

Of course with great power... You know the rest.

I actually kind of enjoy powerlines and junction boxes. There's a level of engineering that is both rough and delicate that is magnified by how orderly and chaotic they are alike.

Now if the power lines are at the expense of a view through trees, that'd be more a bummer. Likewise if the trees remain that's a hazard waiting to happen, which is also a bummer.

Buried lines and conduit pipe are preferable in most cases and share similar aesthetic characteristics.

Not as bad as cars everywhere

The Lain aesthetics is just a regular day in Brazil.

This but unironically.

Fuck appeals to nature.

Have it run underground. Safer for all parts.

Do you guys like having power? Lol

Somewhere. Somewhere Japan

Power lines blocking sky, Japan: 😍😍😍😍

I weirdly don't mind

But also:

My entire factorio server looks like the second photo. India style.

I think clean power lines look nice. I'd definitely prefer them to a butterfly killing roadway or lighted poles that create light pollution and confuse wildlife.

Oh. I guess they could take the sky from me.

Check out the photography by Alex Hyner for some amazing skies between the power lines

Welcome to Mexico, er have such beautiful cities! Except for the 3623516582 cables everywhere

Yes

But

not getting power

Gainax AF.

Oh, I just watched that episode of Serial Experiments Lain.

The highways are even worse.

Yes

I'm on vacation in Thailand for the first time right now and it's sooo true here.

More like "Yes And".

Power and telecom lines are one of the more organic and chaotic parts of an urban environment. I live somewhere that has loads of them, including trollycar lines. In some places it's pretty thick.

I love it. It adds a layer of aesthetic that prevents the world from looking too minimalist, which is nice since that's where most new architecture is headed...

Lateral

Movement

This is like the R. Crumb style

How's the serenity?

The argument for japan is because of earthquakes, easier to repair. But for other countries?

Duvet plays

Yes, but, what if it had even more cables?

ah, beautiful Québec :)

the motions of the electrons moving through those wires can be

Only in backwater countries that still use those antique washing lines that break with every instance of bad weather.

What is your solution?
