Once the chimney for the boiler-room at the former German WW2 army camp at Point-Clos, it is now one of the few remnants of the infrastructure to remain standing... and certainly the tallest. So today, this obelisk-like artefact serves as a reminder of what happened here long ago in the now peaceful forest.
This is for my PLAY project - you can read more about it in my profile - where I'll be using a different prime lens for each month of the year: for February it's the Fujinon 18mm f/2 on an APS-C sensor camera (today the Fuji X-Pro1) - the equivalent of a 28mm lens on a full-frame camera.
BoB... and this is also for Flash of Red February.
The lone chimney has a somewhat sinister impact on the viewer.
Wonderfully evocative composition . This month on my Fuji I have been
shooting fuji's 35mm f/1.4 It is really nice to shoot with prime lenses.
The juxtaposition of the obelisk shape with its sharp angles and straight lines is striking against the soft contours of nature. I like this shot very much.
@juliedduncan If I remember rightly, the lower rungs were removed to prevent the Gung Ho Guys from romping up the tower, getting stuck, requiring emergency services etc.
