Description


For Mark, wisiwyg, who liked the giant chess-piece in a previous upload. More from the reclamation yard. I love these, but I don't miss the yellow fogs, caused by coal burning, that we had in winters before the Clean Air Act, 1958. The wider view Chimney pots

I love these! So what to do with them? How about from chimney pots to flower pots. If I ever make it to England I will do some shopping at the reclamation yard. On another note, your clean air act beat us by five years but the right wing in our country has been fighting it ever since.

Fascinating forms & I recognized it as a durleybeachbum shot from the thumbnail before I looked at the name - you have a unique eye...

Even I remember the smogs, and the fire brigade putting someone's chimney fire out. Remember how we used to (Dangerously) draw the fire by putting a piece of the then foolscap newspaper across the opening? Those were the days eh?

BTW I should mention here that we were still getting smog in London well into the sixties because of the gas works and the power stations.

I didn't know they grew that big!!! What a collection, all in one yard. The tall one would need some plant to trail down and do it justice as a plant pot!

Some excellent planters there Andrea. V nice shot. To answer your question on Helebores drooping in a vase, I must say that we have never picked them so can't say !!

Love this shot, they fetch a tidy sum for those who like them in the garden. So many different designs.

I think, from Dickens, that people who've never been to London have a sense that it was once a soot-encrusted place, filled with mystery and old tales...odd that 'soot' would be conjured, when one considers the pollution in many american cities...but that aside, I love both shots; though this one, because of its angle and crop, has more drama (the flickr is more of a group photo; and it's actually quite grand, considering it's chimney pots). Your composition brings the receding angle---of the pots going back into space, as we move to the right---in contrast with the emerging angle in the back-right. A really nice 'meeting' back there (of visual planes). But the pots themselves make a wonderful visual wall, an onslaught of hues and many different shapes and heights. Like chess pieces, yes. One even has a brick atop. (That one---front row, 4th from the left---looks like a woman with two hats, and a brick on top to hold them down. The little handles on each end are her ears; and the handle below---in front---is her mouth. Or beak. A character from Beatrice Potter...) The clock adds a touch of white---and spindliness---that balances out the pots. Wonderful, Andrea. (And you included some of the front ground, as contrast.) Love this shot.
