The Chimney & The Alley
Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 27 May 2009 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.
A photo from a small town near Halifax in Yorkshire where Victorian era industrial chimneys like this are still a relatively common site.

Excellent perspective. I like the length of the photo- it parallels the chimney.

I wonder if the people who walk there daily notice that?

@Myrtle beach: Well despite Fred Dibnah's best efforts there's no shortage of old chimneys like this in Yorkshire so I doubt that anyone who actually lives in the town would give it a second glance :-)
Richard Hollins from London, United Kingdom
Fantastic shot Ian. Love the way you have cropped the image and used the buildings to frame the chimney. The water in the alley brings a welcome touch of light to it as well.

A very cool shot and well spotted. The tones add to the gritty feel and the reflections in the puddle are intriguing. Compliments.
