TAKE THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX

Saturday Symmetry


copyright Yamini Ali MacLean
























Chose to do this one in B&W as it suits the starkness of all those chimney pots and somehow speaks of the era in which they were built (late 1800s)

The alert will recognise the lamp-post...  Taken with the 'Nik' on  B&W mode, standard focus.

  1. You like that lamppost, seen it in a lot of your photos. Pity the far chimney pots are not even as well

  3. A chimney pot question. Is there a separate fireplace at the end of each pot? i.e., a separate flue travelling from a lot of fire places.
    Or, more simply, why are there so many chimney pots on a chimney?

    Bill - actually only once (as the focus); they line the forefront at Rothesay so hard to avoid!! At least the pots are symmetrical in their higgledy-piggledy!!

    Sylvia - thanks!

    Joanne - good question!! At this time three would have been one main fireplace in every flat in the block, so yes they each represent a flue... posh places would have had a fireplace in the main bedroom too!!

  5. You are so right, B&W is perfect for this scene. I love the composition of your shot too.
