Bog Fox
Was this inspired by the nature of an alien planet? Because I’m not seeing any similarities in ours.
Are… are Estonians hiding something?

Brilliant!

Nice!
We stopped by the “bog fox” on our way to Saaremaa. It prominently stands near a highway crossroads and also works as a corner for a high-voltage transmission line.
Around Helsinki, there are quite a few artfully designed pylons as well.
Inspire by nature, H.R.Giger’s portrayal of nature that is.
It always surprises me when I visit new countries how many different types of electricity pylons there are. Every country trying to solve pretty much the same sort of problem, but coming to completely different solutions in material and shape.
Is visiting Estonia worth it in 2025/2026?
So this is why Enefit Green is so broke. Its stock was in freefall in 2024.
At this point I feel like I’ve bought that fancy pylon.
Aw man I really like them! Wish they could be implemented in the UK.
*Pylon
There is only one like this.
I kinda like it honestly, I’m out in the woods a lot and I have always though of them as a kind of eyesore and while I get why it is important to clean out brushwood underneath it doesn’t exactly help in the aesthetic department this mitigate it a bit at least.
So how is the cost of one of these contra a normal pylon?
Looks like something you’d see in Karnaca from Dishonored 2.
I design power lines for a living, and I am both intrigued and horrified.

They look so funny
Its a fox
I’ve read the was a competition hosted to choose the design. Does anyone have a link to look at the other designs proposed? I can’t find anything myself
For those who don’t know, this is so nice!
Much better than the typical wind turbines, unless the design has a technical justifications, which could have, they look terrible everywhere in the landscape
That’s a damn good idea. Probably stand up better in bad weather too. It’s time the world rethought the telephone pole.

I often drive through there and love to see it. It’s near a cross road of 3 roads junction and it is cool looking.
