Pylon is a Greek term that used for the rectangular, truncated, pyramidal towers flanking the gateway of Egyptian temple. A pylon is also a large metal tower that carries very high voltage power lines. Susan has always admired both types of pylon, so it is fortunate that Jon turns out to be an enthusiastic photographer of pylons and power lines. This beautiful Winston-Salem pylon was photographed from a vantage point near the intersection of Country Club and Jonestown Roads during Thursday evening's walk. (As usual, wine and not a walk on Friday.)
Some pylons (not all) are obelisks, and some are adjacent to obelisks.
