This is an ongoing series of photographs, including these which were taken during solo travel around Scotland and France in November 2011.

I started noticing pylons in strange places, and found myself wondering where they came from, why they were there and the person who left them there. They seem to represent human care; little markers to make sure people don't hurt themselves on something... or perhaps are just randomly placed on sidewalks. This series explores the relationship between the object and the symbol of human compassion.

This pylon symbol is present in some of my other photo work involving Transmission/Electricity Pylons. A vivid childhood memory, the transmission pylon was a large presence in my hometown.
