Theme Day: Chimneys

On the “Serenade of the Seas”: I am not even sure if these are some funnels of sorts, but I liked them anyway.

City Seagulls

This seagull is crying from the top of one of the steet lights lining the “Fosso Reale”, not far from “Piazza Cavour”.This other bird is standing on top of a chimney of a seven storey building adjacent to mine, from where he controls everything around, me included.

Bell Tower & Chimneys

The bell tower of the church of San Ferdinando (1716) in juxtaposition with the chimneys of the Agip refinery (1940) just outside Livorno. Both were heavily damaged by Allied bombings in World War II. The church was restored after the war and the plant completely rebuilt in 1950.

Six Chimneys

I have found these chimneys on top of a set of buildings called “Palazzi Rossi” (Red Buildings), on the corner of Viale della Libertà (Freedom Boulevard) with Viale Mameli. “Palazzo”, in contemporary Italian, has rarely anything palatial in it and is currently used for any type of building. It is also used for a palace, meaning a large and stately mansion. “Palazzi Rossi” is a residential compound built in the 1930's occupying an entire block. It was completely repainted a few years ago in the same dark red visible in the photo.
