This was taken from inside the nature reserve which also hosts the Koeberg nuclear power station. These are the power lines which lead off to supply the electricity to wherever it needs to go.
Can't believe it's weekend again, but wish you all a wonderful one.

Does it really need a forest of pylons all seemingly going the same way in a 'nature reserve'
