These industrial lattice pylons carry high-voltage power lines across the Thames estuary — unglamorous but essential infrastructure that defines the Kent marshland horizon.

The Thames Crossing pylons are among the tallest electricity pylons in England. While most people barely notice power infrastructure, these towers have their own stark beauty — a photographer's favourite subject against the wide estuary sky.
