From a personal point of view, while I find pylons slightly
intrusive,
they do tend to blend in somewhat, as they don't move.
They are also grey not white so don't stand out against the back
ground, vegetation.

Can't say I've seen or heard of green ones. Pink on the other hand...

and a line of pylons in the Highland of Scotland shows how puny are
man's works.
They appear to be trying to take over like the tripods from War of
the Worlds along the southern end of the M74. Ruin the landscape.

Alongside the road is the only viable route in that area and was chosen to
minimise the visual impact. The line was restrung and some towers rebuilt
around 20 years ago when half the route was upgraded to 400kV, way before any
wind turbines came on the scene.

Then they put the turbines on the nearby hilltops for quite a distance
along it.
