I took this photo in 2011 on a visit to Asheville, North Caroline with Donna. I've always liked these rooftop thingies (vents, scrubbers...whatever!) and in the 1970's used them as the inspiration for many fanciful colored pencil drawings. Shot with a Fujfilm JX400. Effects all added in PhotoToaster.
Believe it or not, these are rooftop chimneys at the top of Casa Milà, aka La Pedrera, a historic masterpiece designed by architect, Gaudi. They are meant to look like soldiers or guards.
More description to come soon. I'm running off to work for now!
It was constructed in the 1930s--a WPA project, I believe--for use by the national guard, replacing a farmer's market. The national guard has since moved elsewhere, and now the armory has many non-military uses. Downtown Durham, NC.

Looking beyond the rooftops and out towards the moorlands. Cold December afternoon. St Edwards church tower in foreground.
A typical scene from everyday life, but its easy to forget until you look down from above just how cluttered a man made existence we live, such as different surface textures and street furniture.
The rooftops are Baruch Houses (NYCHA) and Lillian Wald Houses (NYCHA). The stacks are Consolidated Edison (Con Ed) at E. 14th & Ave C

If you have ever watched the BBC's Top Gear you may be familiar with the opening credits of that show, which feature silhouettes of the three co-hosts. I can't help but be reminded of that every time I have a look at this image. Maybe it's further enhanced by my experiences with the hilarity that inevitably ensues when these 3 fine gentlemen get together...
