It seems a short week with Easter Monday making a longer weekend. This means it is already Wednesday and time for
Helena's Pairs. This week I have chosen a look up and then look down. The Bristol University botanical gardens are set around The Holmes which is one of the University residency buildings. It has quite a number of spectacular sets of chimneys of which this is just one.
Meanwhile when I pointed the camera back down I came across this interesting tree trunk which show a little natural architecture.
It is interesting the way the shoots emerge straight from the trunk. The name was in Latin. I wish I has photographed the name to look up later.
It could also be paired as natural and man made architecture.
beautiful pair of columns - great textures in both

ReplyDeleteOoo, old chimneys - they fascinate me. I like the contrast with the organic tree. A great pair.
ReplyDeleteThat is an odd tree! What strange spiky shapes. Nice Victorian looking chimney pots.
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing chimney!
ReplyDeleteLove the verticals.

Lovely Pair!
ReplyDeleteI like the structures here. The tree looks rather reptilian.
