OCOLOY Day 90: Chimney at Point Clos

This is a chimney at the former WW2 German camp at Point Clos, Brittany - it is one of the few remains of the camp infrastructure... in this case, the camp kitchens.

This image is SOOC and is part of my ongoing OCOLOY project - you can read more about it in my profile.

Tall and well built. Wonder what the need of the ladder at the right side was? Nice POV.

@randystreat Kathy, you're a treasure - you hardly ever fail to be the first person to comment on my posts... thank you! Why the ladder? I think they used to sweep chimneys like this from the top.

@vignouse I'm early posting lately and you must be very late to be able to almost have a chat on here. Thanks for responding to my question.

[Claes]

Really nice cloud in the background - in just the right position.

Martial design ... those were the days. But a great capture!

[Dianne]

Neat pov.

[Annie D]

great PoV - I would not like to climb that chimney though

[Margo Sayer]

Very much like the contrast between Nature doing its wild bit and Man's tower. That the chimney is still in such good condition is an accolade to its construction.

[Maggiemae]

It looks cold and miserable but that maybe the emotion accepted!

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh, boy, what an interesting find. I'll bet that chimney could tell some stories!

[Debs Stott]

I would not like to climb up those rungs. The dramatic clouds add so much to the mood here.

[Merrelyn]

Great pov, it looks so tall.

[Thomas Toth]

Great black and white. The textures come alive in black and white. Great shot.

[Jules Hoogstra-Anderson]

Wow to be still standing today, incredible and yet tragic too, when realizing what this piece of history represents. Spectacular POV and capture, seeing the textures of the stone/brick.

[PhotoCrazy]

Nicely captured!!

[Lee]

A poignant reminder of the past, and may it remain so. Good shot Richard.

[Morgane]
