How awesome would it be if electrical pylons looked like this?
Sure there's a little more steel involved, but it's a damn sight easier on the eyes than what we've got going now.
Sadly it's just a concept rendering, done by Russian creative collective Design Depot, and not the real deal. The proposal apparently has something to do with the 2014 Olympic Winter Games, which are scheduled to be held in the Russian city of Sochi.
Sorry we can't provide more details, but Design Depot's website is in Russian, and our Russian (read: Google Translator) is a bit rusty. If any of our Russian-speaking readership wants to take a gander at the original and shed some more light, please share in the comments!

This reminds me of an earlier Icelandic project with antropomorphic pylons, even more mythical: The Land of Giants

Very cool... perhaps even have the substation look like Santa!
