On the subject of lightning in general, this link shows a photo of some strikes framed against power pylons. http://www.ees-group.co.uk/

I am puzzled about why the lightning seems to be avoiding the pylons, when logic would suggest that it would seek the nearest highest point as a route to earth.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to why this appears so ?
