Help needed - Pictures of Electricity Pylons for autistic son.

[PylonsPylonsPylons]

Namechanged for this as this will out me to anyone who knows me!

My autistic son is fascinated by electricity pylons. He wants one for Christmas!!! I've got him some models to build but I'm also trying to put together a photo book of pictures of pylons. If anyone lives near some pylons or is out and about and willing to take some photos I would really apprecate some extra pictures.
I've got lots from my area but a wider variety would be great - any overseas ones would also be appreciated.

What an amazing present!!! Such a great idea.

Bless you OP..i have friends going to US tomorrow ..i will ask them to get some pics if poss..
Im doing something similar for my son whos obsession is lamposts..its proving difficult lol

If we just PM you the pictures I assume that will be fine as you can save them and print them out?

Just the big metal ones? Or are interesting poles also a thing? Because we live nearish some that suspend over a big valley. Looks cool but they aren't very big.

That's such lovely Idea!

Will keep an eye out and pm any to you.

Has you looked up the pylon appreciation society? Lots of folk with his same interest apparently. You may have some luck there with getting pics of unusual ones.

This seller in eBay has some make your own pylon kits, not sure how old your DS is though so may not be suitable

I just happen to have this one you can have...

Love this! Hope you get loads!

A quick google also tells me that amazon has pylon t-shirts!

It's just pylons! It's a recent thing, thanks for the heads up about the pylon appreciation society I didn't know about that.

Please PM me with any photos, thanks!

Google for "lightning pylon" for some amazing pics!

Can I share your post on my local autism site? Anyone with pics can send to my email and I could forward on??

Feel free to share. Thanks

You can't PM photos on MN.

OP, how about Googling electricity pylons on Google Images www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1856&bih=1082&ei=emr5W6qWDM7HgQbqkaDICQ&q=electricity+pylons&oq=electricity+pylons&gs_l=img.1.0.0l4j0i5i30l3j0i24l3.1851.6469..8011...0.0..0.171.1810.9j9......0....1..gws-wiz-img.....0.OjOqAdWAxQU? Then you can screenshot the ones you like and print them.

Seen these? (Includes links to more...) www.citymetric.com/skylines/these-electricity-pylons-are-designed-look-giants-1465

Off topic slightly because i imagine your ds is more interested in normal pylons, but i’ve always wished Iceland had gone along with this design concept for their new pylons

Gosh, I love pylons.

DH always tells me off for taking photos of them on holiday. I did not know there was a pylon appreciation society.

Thanks for that.

I see if I can find some pics.

Oops, sorry Hirples, cross post!

Aww this is nice.

My ASD brother loves washing machines and lifts and he watches endless YouTube videos of them. He also loves London buses, so he looks at loads of images of them online and somehow learns their routes (to and from, not the whole thing afaik).

I can't find a photo of it in the MN app but does Crystal Palace's transmitter count?

There you go
