BC: This was taken on Monday, before the dust, which was Wednesday. However, by the afternoon of Thursday, I heard that the particles-in-the-air count was better than a normal Spring, the wind had been that strong. "They" are warning of more dust on Saturday - but this could just be the media hyperventilating. At its most extensive, the dust cloud was 400km wide and 2000km long.
It's interesting the way they painted the chimney to what, the roof line and then stopped. Which is probably a good thing; a pale green chimney just wouldn't do it.
Do you know why there are three of those whatchamacallits on top of the chimney and why not just one?
How the heck is Santa going to get down those skinny things?

Great shot for the day! Love the fancy chimney against the sky with the lovely clouds! Marvelous composition!
Happy SWF!

textures, angles and sky come together in a really fine composition here. is this today's sky then, has the dust cleared?
I really like how the frame of the other building frames the crisp chimney against the sky.
Thank you, Friends.

I like all the angles! And those three chimneys against the sky are like sculptures!
Great shot. Beautiful texture.
Very special picture. Good shot
That is a really good photo. I really like the looks of the chimney

I have never seen such a chimney, but guess I would not in my country. Very interesting and great photo.
The chimney spouts look very well-crafted piece of artsy thing, complementing a beautiful sky.
Wonderful composition!
Isn't amazing a photographic eye sees by chopping things down to small part. Nice shot.
Oh, gorgeous! Delightful, bright photo.
Oh we're on the same wavelength. I photographed some chimney pots at a shop today! I like yours in context best.

Nice composition and interesting chimney to contrast against the intensely blue sky. Great capture.
Interesting! Beautiful capture.
Beautiful and lovely shot ! Great Post !! Thanks for sharing..Unseen Rajasthan
beautifully framed shot!
Now there's an interesting chimney.
Wow the picture in your last post is just surreal! Nice chimney too.
A photo full of contrasts. I think old chimneys like this one are wonderful - so full of character, compared to the usual modern city skylines.
Lovely and original chimney, we don't see many of these around.
Wonderful color against all that weathered brick. Thanks!
Great framing, Julie!
