On the left can be seen the National Grid High Tension electricity cables which run parallel to the top of the grid square. In the foreground, a less lofty lower tension supply cuts across it. Above them a light aircraft can be seen towing a glider which has taken off from Dunstable Downs. Gliding is a popular pastime in this neck of the woods as the thermals rising over Dunstable Downs provide plenty of lift.
