PYLONS for FUN



ICELAND  AND ITS GIANTS. . . .
EVEN BETTER AS A COUPLE!
 These certainly make me chuckle !! Useful  curiosities these ICELAND PYLON FIGURES . . .yet to be built . . .tourists would love them . . .ICELAND has always got wonderful things going on besides volcanos . . .

Explain the designers. “Like the statues of Easter Island, it is envisioned that these one hundred and fifty foot tall, modern caryatids will take on a quiet authority, belonging to their landscape yet serving the people, silently transporting electricity across all terrain, day and night, sunshine or snow."

The firm wrote: “These iconic pylon-figures will become monuments in the landscape. Seeing the pylon-figures will become an unforgettable experience, elevating the towers to something more than merely a functional design of necessity.”
The judging committee of the High-Voltage Pylon Competition, which was established to find an innovative design for Iceland’s new pylon network in 2008, gave the proposals an honourable mention.
