Twenty four years ago I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express on Chippewa and Main in Buffalo, NY, and was intrigued by the adjoining roof top of an early 20th century two-story building, rimmed with tens of classic chimney pots.
Years later while in France, the view from the Eiffel Tower brought those chimney pots to mind…
Just for perspective because I like the image, here is a view from the top-level of the Eiffel Tower on September 25, 2012. I wonder how many of these “pots” would be within this view!
As usual, click on the image for a closer look, and thanks for viewing. Comments are always welcome. M 🙂
love these images- so interesting!
Thanks, Lisa. The building in Buffalo is now the home of the Contempoary Photography and Visual Arts Center (CEPA,) members to whom I’ve reached out to for information on the pots – but little has been learned as of yet. I hope to update accordingly in a near future post. M 🙂
That’s a lot of chimneys . . . and a neat Paris view.
. . . except, you know, it looks kind of crowded . . .
You bet it’s crowded. Sometimes, I dream of finding a little house, about 25 to 125 miles away from any civilization, in Montana, or there abouts. Then I wake up. M:-)
Is the house built of gingerbread, cakes, candy and with window panes of clear sugar?
. . . because, if it is I suggest staying well clear of it.
