I decided to go wandering off the beaten path today (for a different post, some other time) and by chance, the dirt road I took came very close to one of these transmission towers. I love seeing these guys along the side of the road and I never imagined getting to see one so close, so of course I pulled over to take pictures.
As soon as I got out of the car I could hear the crackling of electricity, which I really didn't expect and made me reconsider my plans to stand next to the tower for a size comparison
Like, it would probably have been fine, but I was happy to keep a respectable distance away from it. It was very nice to be apart from the rest of the world and just listen to the whistling wind and power cracks, though.
