I'm fascinated by civic infrastructure. Despite their importance, the underlying systems enabling our lives within the built environment, from sewers to streetlights, are often concealed from view to the point that we're only consciously reminded of their existence when they fail.
But it's not always possible -- or financially reasonable, at least -- to hide certain elements of these complex networks, and electrical substations are a good example. They're generally large, visually unpleasant, and rendered inaccessible to . . .
