It looks like it's climbing up the mountainside near Somerset West/Sir Lowry's Pass.
Unique powerline support structure near Cape Town
On http://www.inmr.com/2013/08/best-transmission-structure-can-sometimes-be-none-at-all/ you can see a picture of a very unusual powerline support structure near Cape Town. Where is this object exactly situated? To which powerlines does it belong? When was it built?

Yes, mountainside near Somerset West/Sir Lowry's Pass. In my opinion they are the power transmission lines from the Palmiet Pumped Storage Scheme (Kogelberg Dam). After some Google Earthing I think the location of the photograph is -34.150214,18.926471
Thank you for the information. Is it the only of its kind?
