agree  Bourth (X): Though I'd say "inclined". "Angled" works as "steeply angled", but I'm not so sure about just "an angled pylon".
2 hrs
  -> intially "angled pylon" didn't sound right, but looking at it again now I agree with you
agree  MartinPorto: should it not be "pylons"
3 hrs
  -> yes it should, thank you Martin.
