That's the view you get from the road. A couple of years ago I took the time to get a little closer and take some more detailed pictures:
The tunnel entrance:
The final pylon from below:
Where the HV cables come into the open:
That's as close as I'm getting to one of the terminals:
The yard at the base of the pylon:
