High Voltage Transmission Pylon, Near Tracy, CA, 2010.

@mattblaze@federate.social In high school, we watched Koyaanisqatsi. And I knew I'd have a fundamental disconnect with some aspect of the environmentalist movement because in, specifically, the scene where they show the undisturbed desert punctuated by high-voltage power lines, I couldn't help but think "Oh, those are really cool to see in this backdrop! I wonder where they go? Who built them? Someone checks on them. I wonder who?"

@mattblaze@federate.social I dated Tracy back when I was at UCLA, but she did not look quite that spindly and her legs were not that long.

By-the-way, the town of Tracy is still there although it can be hard to find among the increasing number of giant distribution warehouses and trucking companies.

Those don't look like Altamonte pass towers. I drive 580 occasionally, but haven't paid attention besides the hilly parts.

@mattblaze@federate.social you must construct additional pylons
