Cylon Pylons

Some things never change, or will they? I never gave the shape of electricity pylons any thought, so this appealing design did surprise me. Arphenotype designed the pylons or a competition to envisage a new power transmission network in Iceland.

Do they address an organic language, as the architects claim, or do they look more like the Cylon Centurions from Battlestar Galactica or the Tripods from War of the Worlds?
Apart from that it turns out there are a lot of different pylons I never saw, but never as graceful as this design.

She wonders when and why people will adopt a green(er) lifestyle, and how the opinion will change from 'It's not easy bein' green' to 'Green is the color of spring, and green can be cool and friendly-like. And green can be big like an ocean or important like a mountain or tall like a tree', as Kermit once sung. To convince you of the above she will show some wonderful examples to green your life.
