Manchester power
A walk around Sale Water Park in south Manchester can be a riverside stroll and even offers a spot of birdwatching.
But this was a quest to get close to a series of electricity pylons and a substation in the area. Many will say these features blight the countryside, but there is something strangely alluring about this imposing, dystopian architecture.
They’re pretty hot to photograph too…

Great pictures Mike; I particularly like the geometric/abstract views and the Green Bridge is surprisingly delicate.

Thank you very much, Noeline. A lot of people loathe the industrial features of the landscape, but I have a not-so-sneaking love for them.

Hi Mark, good to hear from you and a Happy New Year to you too! I hope it brings plenty of photographic opportunities both near and far. I have a strange interest in these structures – I appreciate that not everybody likes them!
