I think you have some fans:

The towers don't *have* character as much as they *are* characters. The image highlights the towers' human form and conversely the dehumanization that industrialization/ commidification brings, partly, through these same lines into our homes to help power our (non) lives. Note, for example, at the tower in the foreground, which has the aura of Atlas bearing the weight of the world and Nataraja using his many arms to do the same. Moreover, and my favorite part, is that the foregrounded tower has a smaller tower in its 'belly'; the tower is pregnant with another tower; industrializations self-replication.

this picture is pretty

Well, I think in most images, power lines are a nuisance (for me it is anyhow), but there's an exception to every rule, and here it is. I personally like this image...great composition and perspective from foreground to back. Not just that, but what makes this image interesting to me is that these towers seem to have 'character' (if that makes any sense?) And as with two other images of yours I've commented on, b&w lends itself very well here.
