10 most creative chimneys


Via a link at Dark Roasted Blend, I came across an article called '10 Most Creative Chimneys on Earth'.



Chimneys at Palau Güell, Barcelona, Spain



It's weirdly fascinating to see the pictures of these creations. Who'd have thought that the relatively mundane task of exhausting smoke would lead to such elaborate designs?



Chimney at Thornbury Castle, England



There are many more pictures at the link. Go read, and ponder whether your domestic fireplace might be improved by installing something similar . . . provided it doesn't bring the walls down!
