This immediately caught my eye Pierre. Looks like it was a beautiful day. Love the contrasts and shadows it gave your photo. Interesting and well framed. Thanks.

Beautiful shot! Agree with BJ, it is really an eye-catcher, simple but impressing. And it makes a great desktop background. :-)

Looked at several of his buildings through your link. Very organic. I like the way you've taken this shot apart from the rest of the building. These are almost whimsical, like heads or helments. High marks for the viewpoint.

It's amazing the he was able to take something as simple as an air shaft and turn it into a thing of beauty. You've done a wonderful job capturing it, Pierre.

Amazing that someone can turn air shafts into a desktop!! :)...are these knights with their suits of armor on? Are these air shafts made of wood? I love the grain-like appearance on the base of them. Excellent capture Pierre. Thank you :)

The chemneys are only knights heads, without bodies. Made with bricks and plaster.
Thanks again, Mimi :-)
