Angels are everywhere. Transmission towers. Telephone poles. Cable cars. Trains. Road tunnels. Computers and Supercomputers. Synthesisers. Circuit boards. Robots and AI.

We are the gods and these are our angels.

Power lines 🔌 in Iceland are another level. Imagine building pylons in places like these. It's in the middle of nowhere and there are are only mountains and tundra.

pylons are church spires. to me. geometric. unimaginably tall. so so so beautiful. marvels of human architecture; thumbprints on our landscapes. intrinsically spiritual. you get me? you get me.

they are manmade beasts. too tall to conceptualise. we are ants compared to our own creations....

ooga booga. doesnt it make you feel small?
