Possibly my favourite spot in Saltaire for looking up, just to marvel at the size of the great chimney at Salts Mill. Observed from close to its base, it seems to soar upwards right to the heavens. I find it breathtaking - and to think that at one time it went even higher because it was originally crowned with an ornate top, which had to be removed when it became unsafe.
Equally breathtaking is the view from the top.... See my series of pictures posted in October 2012, here.
Hi Jenny - incredible workmanship and to think it was done without cranes etc ... man is amazing in his creativity ... and bravery, or having no choice, in building these edifices ...
ReplyDeleteLove the shot - cheers Hilary
Great photo - looks like a fun project!
ReplyDeleteSure is a majestic chimney.
ReplyDeleteI can see why this chimney appeals to you. A golden obelisk.
