Gasholder

I took this one while in Rome with the half/half challenge in mind.
Love it, and with an almost fresco sky

Is this a water tower - or is it really a see through structure. It's made such a good half and half.

@robz Hi Rob, it is a gasholder these structures could be found all over Europe. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_holder Sadly most of them were pulled down, instead of used for something else. Those cast iron frames are very interesting.......I think.

@jacqbb Hi Jacqueline - thanks for the info - their frames are wonderful - what a shame they can't do anything with them! :)

@robz We've had them repainted and replaced in a couple of places as iconic structures - https://www.kingscross.co.uk/gasholder-park. Mostly they are just rusting, like these ones that I want to visit with a camera in my hand, rather than see them from the tube https://www.eastlondonadvertiser.co.uk/news/heritage/society-includes-gasholders-among-top-10-endangered-buildings-1-5693972
