Gack! How ever did you get up so high to take this fantastic shot?
FAB!
Is that a Weathervain? or an antenna?
The top-leftmost structure is the large weathervane, to the right there is a lighting rod (it's cut off), you can see the grounded cable running down the roof on the right.
yikes ! if those are bricks spa;\lling out to the right of the window they have a big problem. great shot, you have agood eye for architectural detail.
HOW MANY FACES LOOKED OUT OF THIS WINDOW? SOME WERE SANE. SOME WERE INNOCENT. SOME HAD BEEN THERE SINCE BIRTH. SOME HAD BEEN INSANE. SOME HAD BEEN PREGNANT. SOME HAD CHILDREN OUT OF WEDLOCK. SOME WERE HANDICAPPED. SOME HAD MISSING LIMBS. ALL NEVER GOT OUT ALIVE. SOME NEVER GOT OUT DEAD AS THEY WERE BURIED WITHIN THE PERIMITER.
What a sad and dreary view.
The roof is in good shape those are relatively new dimensional shingles, straight hip caps as well. very steep slope another reason for the good condition
