This pylon does look a little like the (in)famous La Guillotine of the French Revolution only with a modern twist - powered by electricity!
Did you know
The guillotine was still in use in the 1930's! The last public guillotining was of Eugen Weidmann, who was convicted of six murders. He was beheaded on 17 June 1939, outside the prison Saint-Pierre rue Georges Clemenceau 5 at Versailles.

Today's quote: There is only one cure for gray hair. It was invented by a Frenchman. It is called the guillotine ~ P. G. Wodehouse.

Great perspective of the pylon! Like a streamlined guillotine.
Oh, that Wodehouse. Gotta love him. In this case he not only makes the eyes roll, he makes the heads roll, too. Excellent little post.
Interesting shot and it does look lethal.

Great shot, and yes, it looks like a modern guillotine :-D
Nice looking blog... Melbourne is on my list of places to visit one of these days. Thanks for sharing!
Found this hard to believe but the last time that this crazy world used the device (guillotine) was actually as late as 1977. On September 10, 1977 Hamida Djandoubi was put to death via guillotine in Marseilles, France. We've come a long way eh? NOT. SAD. :(
interesting architecture.
