Re: [Tagging] Power Tower Landuse = ?

Last Saturday, I took some pictures of the towers/pylons near my home. I uploaded 11 images to a flickr album here. You can easily get an idea of what I am talking about (separated or “abandoned” landuses), and the massive scale of some of the tower/pylons. there are refs and descriptions for
