    The towers were a bit annoying in the pics. But when i thought about it, the whole surrounding area is highly industrialised. Despite how it looks in the pictures there is a motorway (freeway?) separating the Helix Park / Kelpies area from Grangemouth refinery, the chemical plants, warehousing and distribution areas, etc, etc. I suppose in this context the towers and power lines are in keeping with the area; and a contrast to the natural element of the Kelpies and complimentary to the material and construction methods used in constructing the Kelpies.
