Pylon of the Month

December's Pylon of the Month should be plural - Pylons of the Month. I decided to go back and find all the December posts from previous years and bring them together. The layout is a bit all over the place, which I could presumably fix if I got stuck into a bit of HTML, but I decided to go with a rough and ready aesthetic instead. The first December pylon wasn't until 2012, over four years after the blog started which was a bit of a surprise. After that, I wasn't imbued with the Christmas spirit because I didn't bother with a December pylon for the next two years, but since 2015 there has been one every year. If you are at a very loose end and there is nothing on the TV over the festive season, it's easy to find all the posts on the Pylon of the Month archive.

The other thing that struck me is that there have been very few truly seasonal pylons. The only one that features snow is December 2017 which was from Spain and sits in the centre of the layout above. December 2019 did at least show pylon fans how they could buy a pylon-themed Christmas tree decoration, which got me looking for more of the same and led me to this wonderful PaintsPylons tree decoration. I've just ordered one and so should pylon fans everywhere. On that note, I'll sign off with a Merry Christmas to electricity infrastructure fans everwhere! See you in 2024.
