Steel Infinity — Looking Up Through a Power Tower


Lie down beneath a high voltage transmission tower. Look straight up. And suddenly engineering becomes art. Steel beams radiate outward from a central vanishing point, frame after frame after frame, shrinking into the grey sky above like a portal to another dimension. This is infrastructure photographed not as utility but as geometry — the same mathematical precision that builds bridges and skyscrapers, revealed in a single upward glance. Power lines cross the void. The sky holds everything still. And for one moment, the ordinary world becomes infinite.

Steel and Storm Over Bishopsgate

We’d come out of the train station at Liverpool Street earlier in the morning but when I walked past here, I stopped dead on Bishopsgate, tilted the camera straight up, and watched three towers race each other into a sky that looked like it was about to pick a fight. The central building’s white steel exoskeleton catches what little light the clouds allow through, while its darker neighbours absorb everything else. Glass, steel, and corporate ambition stacked floor after floor.

The bright yellow Liverpool Street sign is almost the only colour in the scene. What does that say about office work in the modern world?

TIL that the distinctive diagonal-braced tower at the centre of this shot is 100 Bishopsgate, which at 172 metres tall, is one of the City of London’s tallest buildings. Bet there’s a nice view from the top floor!
