Presumed power supply to University Hospital, Walsgrave, Coventry
The power lines come immediately from the south, going underground at a terminal tower or pylon. There is no substation visible here. At the north end of the hospital power lines emerge from the ground in an enclosure, connect to a terminal tower and continue north in line with those pictured. This vast hospital appears to be built over undergrounded power lines; how it gets its power supply, who knows. The demand must be colossal. The view is from the Sowe Valley footpath; the river is hidden by the foreground vegetation.
Sowe Valley, Coventry

The River Sowe rises in Bedworth, flowing south towards Coventry; it winds through the city's eastern suburbs before joining the Warwickshire Avon near Stoneleigh. The Sowe Valley Footpath follows the river for over eight miles, mostly through naturalistic green spaces. LinkExternal link
