This is a photo of one of the transmission towers along the eastern side of the #40 road (more convenient than the full name "The Custodian of the two Holy Mosques, King Fahad Ibn Abdul Aziz Road"), approximately 20 kilometres north of the Kuwait - Saudi Arabia border. I was amazed by the two workers sitting at the top of the tower. There are parts of the Kuwait desert that appear as a forest due to the numbers of transmission towers, all carrying electricity generated by the burning of oil.
